Junior

First steps on stage. Camps, classes, and youth productions that build confidence through play — a welcoming place for ages 7 to 11 to fall in love with theater.

About Junior

The Junior years are about discovery. Through camps, beginner classes, and youth productions, our youngest performers learn the basics of singing, acting, and moving on stage — building confidence, friendships, and a lifelong love of the arts, all at a pace that fits ages 7 to 11.
