Auditions are today! You, your child, grandchild, etc can still come!

As Ross on Friends yelled, “Pivot. Pivot!”

We’ve had a few twists and turns thrown our way for this summer’s musical, but we are excited about the new plan!!

It’s now being held at Life Church under the direction of the amazingly talented Pastor Moore.

If you have already signed up for an audition slot on May 23, no need to do anything except show up to a different location!

If you haven’t already signed up your teens and kiddos, DO SO NOW! 💜

Everyone who auditions gets cast!

Pastor Caleb is an unbelievably talented director.

We are soooo excited about this musical and to work with your students!

We are thrilled that Persnickety by Jen Farley has chosen Masterpiece Arts Sanctuary NFP as their charity for November. Go and see what pieces are meant for your home!
