Snap snap!
Our spring musical, The Addams Family: School Edition, is about so much more than spooky fun (though there’s plenty of that).

This program gives students the chance to grow as singers, actors, dancers, and teammates while working toward a full musical production together. Along the way, they’ll learn how to commit to rehearsal, support an ensemble, take direction, and build confidence onstage.

Whether a student is brand new to musical theater or returning for another season, this class meets them where they are—and helps them grow.

There are only a few spots left! Register now!

Confidence Grows with Practice
Audition Skills isn’t a one-time workshop—
it’s a weekly class designed to build skills step by step, month to month.

Students grow confidence, technique, and comfort with auditioning over time—not all at once.
Each week in Audition Skills builds on the last:
✅Stronger monologue work
✅ More confident cold reads
✅Smarter singing auditions
✅Better response to feedback

The longer students stay, the more confident and prepared they become.
