Rehearsal & Performance Location

Stage Door Studio

1100 N Alma School Rd. (Ray Rd/Alma School Rd)

Attendance

Since we meet only once a week, students are expected to attend all rehearsals to ensure enough time to learn their roles.

Homework

Students will have some homework for the show, including memorizing lines and songs and dances. Work with your child to create a schedule so they have time to finish both their school homework and their musical homework.

Classroom Etiquette

The rehearsal room and theater are safe spaces where young people can take positive risks and be themselves without the fear of being laughed at or alienated. This principle is essential to artistic growth and exploration. Participants are expected to respect these ideas and are encouraged to remember it themselves when trying new things.

why musical theater?

Students will achieve a professional and personal understanding of the arts through rehearsals, and performances. There are a number of great benefits to being in a musical, including:

Active Participation in the Arts

Participating in the arts provides young people with a chance to explore their creativity and imagination in a structured and safe environment. Musical theatre is specifically remarkable because it is the only art form that combines all areas of the fine arts: acting, singing, dancing, music, and visual arts.

Improving Literacy Skills

From reading scripts to memorizing lines to learning to tell a story, young people continually improve their literacy skills while rehearsing and performing in a musical.

Becoming a Confident Public Speaker

It takes a lot of guts to stand up and sing or dance in front of your family, peers, and what may seem like the entire community. Experience with public speaking at a young age gives students confidence that will be important to them for the rest of their lives!

Creating as a team!

Theater is a great way for your child to meet friends with similar interests! Putting on a musical is a group effort, and every member of the team must work together to make it happen. Throughout the rehearsal process, the students will learn to solve challenges as they arise. Students will learn to trust and depend on themselves and their castmates.
