Musical Theater
Beginning Theater Classes for Children Ages 5–10
We believe every child is the author, director, and star of their own story. Our Theater Class isn’t about memorizing lines or perfect performances—it’s about having fun, exploring new ideas, and discovering who they are through play, imagination, and collaboration.
Hands-On Learning
This class is all about letting kids dive in and create. They get to tell stories, make up characters, build scenes, and work together as a team.
It’s not about being perfect—every kid’s ideas and voice really matter, and the classroom feels like a fun, lively rehearsal where everyone gets to shine.
Their Vision, Their Terms
Kids get to explore and make choices within each activity—whether it’s bringing a character to life, adding their own spin to a scene, or helping shape a play with friends.
The class guides them while still letting their imagination shine and giving them a chance to take the spotlight in their own way.

📌 Frequently Asked Questions
What if my child has never done theater before?
No problem at all! Our classes are designed for first-timers and budding performers. We create a welcoming space where kids can explore theater through play, creativity, and fun.
How big are the classes?
We keep our classes small—12 students or fewer—so every child is supported, encouraged, and seen.
Will my child feel comfortable if they’re shy?
Yes. Many of our students start out feeling nervous, and that’s totally okay. We gently guide kids into participation at their own pace, helping them build confidence through movement, voice, and storytelling.
What will my child learn in this class?
Students will explore acting, movement, music, and character-building through games, scenes, and group activities. They'll work toward a mini showcase that highlights their creativity and growth.
Will my child’s photo or performance be shared online?
Only with your permission. We never post photos, videos, or student work without clear parent or guardian consent.
What makes this different from other theater programs?
We’re not focused on perfection or pressure. This class is all about joyful self-expression, creative play, and helping kids discover their unique voice on stage—while learning real theater skills in the process.
Will there be a performance at the end?
Yes! We end each session with a casual, family-friendly showcase that gives every child a moment to shine.
