Not every family can say “yes” to theater—even when their child desperately wants to.

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.

A scholarship isn’t just tuition.
It’s a yes when a student thinks they don’t belong.
It’s confidence, community, and a place to shine under the lights.

Our Arts For All Scholarship ensures students can participate in theater programs no matter their circumstances—and your support makes that possible.

Help us keep our stage open to every story.
Give today and change a life through the arts.

Today’s Performance Update

With heavy but caring hearts, we’ve made the decision to cancel today’s (Sunday, 1/25) 2:00 p.m. performance of Bye Bye Birdie.

Due to the current travel watch restricting travel to essential trips only, it would be unsafe for families, students, and staff to make their way to the theater unless absolutely necessary. As much as we wanted one last trip to Sweet Apple, keeping our community safe has to come first.

We are so proud of our incredible cast and so grateful to everyone who supported this show—onstage, backstage, and in the audience. Ending the run this way is hard, but your understanding means the world to us.

Ticket holders for today’s performance can email [email protected]
by Wednesday (1/28) to discuss a refund, gift card, or donation option.

Please stay safe, stay warm, and give your performers a big round of applause from home today.

We’ll be back onstage soon—we promise.

I’ll say it! This cast is ready to perform! Couldn’t be more proud of this group! T-minus 4 days until opening night!

We had a very fun rehearsal trying on our costumes and wigs for Bye Bye Birdie! There are still a few tickets to see the show! Get them now before they are gone!

Devised Theater is all about ensemble.
Students learn how to listen, respond, and create something bigger than themselves.
The skills learned in Devised Theater show up everywhere—
onstage, in auditions, and even in school presentations and group work.

Devised Theater builds:
🧠 Critical thinking
🗣️ Communication skills
🤝 Ensemble trust
✍️ Creative confidence
It’s especially great for students who love storytelling, directing, or thinking outside the box.

Class Starts This Saturday for the First Session! Sign Up Now!
