Traditional Youth Theatre Classes
Offered 2 times per year; enrollment is required separately for each semester.
Our traditional youth theatre classes follow our tried-and-true weekly class structure that culminates in a large-scale production at the end of the class period. Our traditional classes are offered TWO TIMES A YEAR – one fall program and one spring program. Students may participate in one or both sessions, but enrollment for each is separate.
For Fall 2023, traditional youth theatre students will produce Honk Jr. Students meet one time a week with their class beginning the week of August 20. Students come together with their casts for group rehearsals beginning October 20 up until the performances which are Friday, November 10 at 7 PM/Saturday, November 11 at 3 PM (Monday/Tuesday classes) and Saturday, November 11 at 7 PM/Sunday, November 12 at 3 PM (Wednesday/Thursday classes).
During the group rehearsal time, students can expect a rehearsal schedule that mirrors that of a show as compared to the regular class time. Rehearsals will generally be held within the 5:00 PM/5:30 PM time frame and will conclude no later than 7:00 PM/7:30 PM. Younger students are often dismissed earlier. Upon enrollment, you will choose a class day that corresponds with your grade level. Classes will run weekdays from 5:30 PM-7:00 PM. See matrix below for class options.

Private Acting or Voice Lessons
Private voice lessons, as well as private acting lessons, are also offered. Students may enroll for either a 10-pack of 30-minute sessions OR a 10-pack of 45-minute lessons. Upon enrollment, the student and selected teacher will determine a weekly meeting time for the duration of the pack of lessons. Students will be expected to meet weekly, though some exceptions may be made. Most private voice lessons are taught by Katie Gatch or Jane Cato. If the schedules fill, another instructor may be engaged.
