Our emphasis is on fun, safety, teamwork and creativity. The process is just as important to us as the final product.
Fall, winter and spring semesters beginning in September, January and April.
For kids ages K through 6 (although we will consider younger and older - call us).
Actors are divided into 2 groups, K-1 and Grades 2-6 but practice separately.
Generally 10-12 rehearsal sessions of 1 hour (K-1) or 2 hours (Grades 2-6) with 1-2 additional dress rehearsal days.
Children learn acting, singing, dancing, some costume and set design from industry professionals.
Scripts, partial costumes and rehearsal CDs are provided.
Rehearsal space is in a convenient, easily accessible safe location in your town (mainly schools and or places of worship).
Performance and dress rehearsals are held on live stages.
Each studio location puts on its own show at that location.
No auditions are needed to enroll; roles are chosen at the first rehearsal.
No prior experience needed. We love newcomers!
All children get speaking parts, singing lines and relevant roles.
Parents can choose to purchase a professional video of the performance.
At times professional actors play ADULT roles and help the children learn their craft.
Cast size is limited so the hidden talent of each child can be discovered.
Play fees range from $200-$250 depending on the age of the child. We do offer various discounts. Please call us or sign up for our newsletter (below) to learn about these and other special offers.
Please call us at (845) 363-1598 if you have any questions about which show or group is right for your child.
