☀️ What a way to kick off Annie Jr.!

Our first performance was filled with big smiles, lots of heart, and so many proud moments.

And the best part? There's still one more performance to go!

☀️ The sun'll come out... THIS WEEKEND! ☀️

After weeks of rehearsals, learning lines, practicing choreography, and making memories together, these young performers are ready to take the stage in Annie Jr.!

We are so excited to see these talented actors shine under the lights and share all of their hard work with audiences. There's something special about watching young performers grow in confidence and bring a story to life, and this cast has been working incredibly hard to make this show one to remember.

Do you love working with young performers and helping stories come to life through movement?

We're looking for a Dance Instructor/Choreographer to join our team! From musical theatre productions to classes and camps, we're searching for someone who can inspire confidence, teach strong technique, and create exciting choreography for performers of all ages.

At Playact, we're passionate about building a creative, supportive community where students can grow both on and off the stage. If that sounds like the kind of environment you'd love to be part of, we'd love to hear from you!

Today we take a moment to slow down and remember.

To honor those who gave everything for the freedoms we live in every day—freedoms that allow voices to be heard, stories to be told, and communities to come together under one shared spotlight.

With deep gratitude—thank you, heroes ❤️🤍💙
