*disclaimer* The students were actually asked what they would do if a robber showed up at their house. No orphans were harmed in the making of this video.

Come watch Annie JR, a story of an orphan whose life changes when she’s welcomed into a new home.

Show dates for our 7 - 10 year olds are November 11th - 14th. Our Homeschool cast and our 10 - 15 year olds are December 9th - 12th!

We had an incredible Summer✌️☀️
Starting off June with 2 casts with Into the Woods Jr and wrapping up July with our teens for Camp Rock 🤘
We couldn't have asked for a better Summer!

Starting off our next semester strong with Beetlejuice auditions Sunday afternoon, then 4 different casts of Annie Jr, 1 cast for Finding Nemo kids, and 3 groups for our Little Express song and dance classes.

It’s showtime… 👻🖤✨

This fall, the strange and unusual are taking over the stage at Expression City with Beetlejuice Jr.!

For performers ages 12–18, this hilariously haunting musical follows Lydia Deetz, a delightfully odd teenager navigating grief, ghosts, and one wildly chaotic demon with a flair for the dramatic.

(Rated PG) Expect spooky fun, unforgettable music, outrageous characters, and plenty of Netherworld pandemonium along the way.

Whether your student loves acting, singing, dancing, or simply being part of the magic of theatre, this production is going to be an absolute scream.

🖤 Auditions begin Sunday, August 9th
🖤 Performances: Oct. 30 – Nov. 1
🖤 Ages 12–18

So gather your courage, warm up those vocal cords, and say it with us…

(It’s okay… we’ll only say it once.)

All the Performing Arts. All Under One Roof. 💫

At Expression City, we believe performing arts should be creative, inspiring, and fun, not a stressful shuffle between rehearsals, classes, and schedules all across town.

EC was created as a space where children and adults across Middle Tennessee can explore all aspects of the performing arts in one convenient location.

From circus arts and aerial classes to musical theatre and more, our students learn from passionate instructors who truly love what they do, all while building confidence, creativity, and community along the way. 💙
