Does my kid need any experience? Is there an audition?
Nope, and NOPE! There are no auditions, ever. Whether your kiddo has been singing since they could talk or has never set foot on a stage, we meet kids where they are. Every kid gets their moment to shine.
My kid is pretty shy… is theatre really for them?
Yes! Theatre isn't just for the loud kids. We start with games and play, so quieter kids can warm up at their own pace. After 20+ years of teaching, I can tell you that some of my shyest students end up surprising everyone… including themselves. 💛
My kid is a bit over-the-top dramatic. Is this the place for them?
Oh, we LOVE big personalities! Theatre gives all that energy somewhere fun to go, and teaches real skills like listening, teamwork, and taking turns in the spotlight.
Can I join once a program has already started?
Yes, as long as there's still space! Reach out and I'll let you know what's available.
Is there a performance at the end?
We finish with a small in-class presentation so kids can show off what they've learned. It's low-pressure and SO much fun. The process matters just as much as the performance, if not more.
Do parents have to stay during class?
You don't have to! For our younger Broadway Minis, we do suggest staying if that's what helps your kiddo feel comfortable. Every kid is different, and that's totally okay.
What should my kid wear and bring?
Comfy clothes they can move in, running shoes, and a water bottle. That's it!
What's the difference between classes and the Full Musical Program?
Our weekly classes focus on building skills in acting, singing, and dancing through games, scenes, and group numbers. Our Full Musical Program is where kids rehearse and perform a full show on a real stage, with costumes, sets, and an audience. Lots of kids start in classes and move into a show when they're ready!
