Musical Theatre Adventures

Let's put on a show! This course is for students who want to have fun, develop stage skills, get in costume, ‎sing, act and put on a real musical. Emphasis will be on group work with less focus on solo performances. There will be opportunities for small ensemble singing and some solo work for those who are comfortable, but the musical will be geared towards performing together in both large and small groups. Bring your enthusiasm and personality. No previous training required.

2024/25 Production is The Granny Awards!

Tonight's the night we've all been waiting for! Yes, Granny, who has retired from show business, will be honoring all of our favorite fairy tale characters! Who will win Best Female and Male Vocalist? Best Dramatic Scene? Best Choreography? And the coveted Best Villain Award? And don't forget to keep an eye on that nasty Big Bad Wolf as he tries to steal the treasured Granny Award.

2024/25 Production is Annie JR!

Based on the popular comic strip and adapted from the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, with a beloved book and score by Tony Award winners, Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, Annie JR. features everyone’s favorite little redhead in her very first adventure.

With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. Annie is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. Annie eventually foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations, finding a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.
