The first steps of self esteeem and poise often begin on the stage in incremental stages. These classes are for kids who love to perform, who want to develop their musical theater skills or the shy ones who may want to come out of their shell. Age appropriate material is selected for the children who will be guided into solo or ensemble work. We strive that the environment remains nurturing and confidence building! Strengthen skills through exploration of acting technique, storytelling, singing and movement. Our Youth Community Theater component, BROADWAY BOUND, ends with a showcase or mini-junior production performed for family and friends. |
