Performance-based Opportunities
Dive into the magical world of theatre! Everyone who signs up will participate in the collaborative process of putting on a play or musical for the community (provided they are able to work cooperatively in a group setting for extended period with minimal conflicts) . Through the rehearsal process, each participant will be cast in a role as they rehearse and prepare scenes, learn songs, choreography and staging in a safe, supportive and instructive setting. By show time, each performer will have a Marquee moment to shine, sharpen skills as a performing artist, and stand up taller after the final bow! Rehearsals require more dedication than workshops and are a longer time commitment each week and recommended more for performers who are able to withstand the rehearsal process. Check out our Audition Q&A for the scoop on auditions.
"School House Rock Live! Jr." (Grades 1 - 11) The Emmy Award-winning Saturday morning educational cartoon series and pop culture phenomenon is now the basis for one of the funnest musicals ever to hit the stage, Schoolhouse Rock Live! JR. This energetic musical follows Tom, a young schoolteacher, who is nervous about his first day of teaching. He tries to relax by watching TV, when various characters representing facets of his personality emerge from the set and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music. Memorable songs as "Just a Bill," "Lolly, Lolly, Lolly" and "Conjunction Junction" bring his lesson plans vividly to life.
