Schedule
We have Two Semesters to create a Full School Year Experience.
You don’t need to take both semesters to get a lot out of this experience, but we love to become a theater home for our students to come back year after year, first as students, then as assistants, and coming back to visit as guest artists when they are professional performers!
No Summer Classes but you can register for our Fall Semester 2023 starting in mid June.
When (dates will be updated for 2023-2024 in June)
Semester 1 Sept 29th through January (12-13 Weeks) + a Jan 21st Concert and/or January in-class Sharing Day.
Semester 2 Late January through May (12-13 Weeks) + Sunday Rehearsals March-May and May 18 & 19 Show
Semester 1: Acting Improv, Audition Monologues & Scenes, Songwriting, Playwriting, and Band Classes have an Informal Performance with no Sunday rehearsals required.
20% discounts available for additional classes per week. 5% discount for additional siblings.
