The “Triple- Threat” Performance Program
This Program is for the young performer who wants to learn to do it all - Acting, Singing, and Dancing; In the Musical Theater world, we call those performers a triple threat!
This Program has a KIDS, TWEEN, and TEEN division. It combines “Acting for Theater”, “Musical Theater Dance” and a once weekly 30 minute Private Vocal & Acting Coaching for each student in the program, starting the second week of classes - all at combined monthly cost of more than 25% off! Our Winter-Spring session starts the week of January 20th, and runs though June 1st.
Students in the TRIPLE - THREAT Program will expand their knowledge and skill in acting, singing, and dancing; gaining more confidence and fluidity performing in front of an audience in all three of these disciplines.

Acting For Theater
Sessions for KIDS, TWEENS, and TEENS
This class is for students who are interested in exploring Theater and improving their acting and vocal skills! This class is approachable for beginners, while providing challenges for more experienced actors. It is a wonderful opportunity for students, regardless of their initial skill level, to increase their stage experience in a fun and encouraging learning environment! Over the course of the class, students will learn, stage, and rehearse scenes, culminating in a final performance for family and friends at the end of the semester!
This class meets once a week, and has separate sessions for KIDS, TWEENS, and young TEENS. With a much smaller class size than can be found in most theater programs, students have more opportunities to shine in each scene, and plenty of opportunity for individualized coaching and improvement!
***This Class is included as a part of the “Triple-Threat” Performance Program, but may also be taken independently. More info about the program can be found at the bottom of this page. ***

Musical Theater Skills
Sessions for KIDS, TWEENS, and TEENS
This class is for students who are interested in Musical Theater to Strengthen their Musical theater skills! This Musical theater class is a wonderful opportunity for students to improve their stage presence while singing and dancing!
We have long felt that a strong foundation in dance was something MISSING from our Current Musical Theater and “Triple-Threat” programs, and our SO EXCITED to be able to shift our focus this session to a DANCE FOCUSED MUSICAL THEATER CLASS. We will still sing and do vocal work, but Dance skills will be strongly featured this session. We feel that this shift is incredibly timely, as we prepare to put up our first ever Spring Musical in 2026, which will have a STRONG Dance component!
This class meets once a week, and has separate sessions for KIDS, TWEENS, and young TEENS. Students will work on foundational Musical Theater dance skills, and learn at least one Musical theater dance number for performance over the course of the session. Students will build foundational dance and movement skills needed as an actor, while improving their confidence on stage! At the end of the semester, they will put on a final Musical performance for family and friends!
Required Class Material - Black Jazz Shoes. Please order your Jazz shoes early and have them with you at every class!

Movie Makers Class
For future movie makers, ages 11 and up
Welcome to Movie Makers! In this class, we will discuss the process of making a movie from script to screen! We will talk about how to structure a screenplay, make storyboards in pre-production, act in front of a camera and finally edit the shots. As we discuss the process, we will use what we learn to make our very own short film for all to see! Not everyone will be in front of the camera as we will need those who may have an interest in the audio/video departments. If you have a love for movies and want to know more about the process, come join Movie Makers!
