Aspire’s Spring 2026 Bright Lights of Broadway - A Spectacular Semester

Aspire Performing Company’s Spring 2026 semester concludes with stunning performances of Bright Lights of Broadway, featuring young artists ages 7-18 in a celebration of stage and film’s greatest hits.

Aspire Performing Company’s Spring 2026 semester has officially ended, and what a season it’s been.

We capped off the semester with stunning performances of Bright Lights of Broadway, featuring music from stage and film that brought audiences to their feet. After months of hard work, dedication, and rehearsals, our young artists took the stage at the Electric Theater and delivered performances that left the community impressed by the caliber and quality of talent in this production.

Families and ticket buyers from all over Southern Utah filled the theater to witness these incredible young artists shine under the bright lights. The energy, passion, and professionalism on display were a testament to the growth and commitment of every performer in our five groups: Illuminate, Harmony, Radiance, Thrive, and Ignite.

This semester was led by our exceptional creative team. Kelby Tyrrell, our incomparable director, brought vision and heart to every rehearsal. Leslie Scott, our music director, elevated every vocal performance with her expertise and encouragement. Shannon Martin, the heart and soul of Encore, kept everything running smoothly as our stage manager. Keairra Clark brought dynamic choreography to life as our associate choreographer.

Each semester, we invite some of our outstanding young artists who have worked with Aspire and Encore for several years to join our team as Aspire Ambassadors, where they lead and mentor our younger groups. This year, we were blessed to work with Haven Record, Emma Schmitt, Emma Roberts, and Nevaeh Ward, whose leadership and dedication helped shape the success of this production.

Aspire Performing Company is more than a show choir program. It’s a community where young artists ages 7-18 come together to dream big, work hard, and light up the stage. We are so proud of every performer who took part in this semester and grateful for the families, volunteers, and community members who support this program.
It was a great semester, and we are so grateful for Aspire.

Stay tuned for information about our Fall 2026 semester coming soon!
