9th-12th Grade Musical Theatre

Our 9th-12th Grade Programming is for serious-minded theatre students who are committed to attending classes each week and spending time outside of the classroom working on material. No experience is necessary. Our year-long program provides continuous growth through three core components: skill-building, professional preparation, and hands-on rehearsal experience. The full year culminates in an exciting spring production, giving students the opportunity to showcase their talent in a live performance.

Students will train in acting, voice, movement, and ensemble work while building toward a fully staged musical production.

What to Expect:

This class introduces young performers to storytelling through movement, music, and imaginative play.

This is a developmentally appropriate introduction to performing arts designed to build comfort, confidence, and joy on stage.

Students will work as an ensemble to bring Frog and Toad Kids™ to life through storytelling, character play, and simple staging designed specifically for young performers.

Production Experience:

Students will participate in a fully staged theatrical production where every performer is featured as part of the ensemble cast. Through rehearsal, collaboration, and performance, students experience the excitement of bringing a story to life on stage with costumes, lighting, and professional production support.
