Performance Workshops
Performance Workshop students go through the entire process of putting on a musical from auditions to performance. Students will learn dialogue, music and choreography in preparation to perform a full scale or junior style show.
The Performance Workshops come in multiple levels based on age group and experience.
Our Performance Workshops are inclusive, and we accept all students regardless of performance background until the workshop fills. Previous Performance Workshop productions include; Xanadu, Carrie, Godspell, Legally Blonde, Urinetown, Curtains, You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, and many more.
You're a Good Man Charlie Brown
Inept, but ever-hopeful, Charlie Brown searches for what it means to be a good person, finding unexpected answers from his friends Lucy, Linus, Schroeder, Sally and Snoopy. Visit with the gang as they set out to discover how happiness in life is made up of all the little moments we often take for granted. This bright and sunny show is packed with upbeat songs, funny comics and the creative genius of Charles M. Schultz, with a book by Clark Gesner and Michael Mayer, and music and lyrics by Clark Gesner and Andrew Lippa.

Hadestown Teen Edition
Directed by Shileah Corey, Choreographed by Alia Thomaier
Assistant Director/Assistant Choreographer – Rylynn Davis
This intriguing and beautiful folk opera delivers a deeply resonant and defiantly hopeful theatrical experience. Following two intertwining love stories – that of young dreamers Orpheus and Eurydice, and that of immortal King Hades and Lady Persephone – Hadestown invites audiences on a hell-raising journey to the underworld and back. Inspired by traditions of classic American folk music and vintage New Orleans jazz, Anais Mitchell’s beguiling sung-through musical pits industry against nature, doubt against faith, and fear against love.
Ages 13-19 - Hadestown is rated PG - Tuition: $400.00. No one will be kept from being cast because of inability to pay tuition. Partial/full scholarships are available.
Session dates: March 10 – May 4, 2025
