OUR MISSION
We encourage positive role modeling and individual expression, as well as nurturing children in intellectual, artistic, and personal development through performing opportunities, and extraordinary theatre experiences. Children learn the fundamentals of acting, stage presence and working alongside their peers. These lifelong skills not only apply to the theatre, but to public speaking, critical and creative thinking, self-esteem, and the development of leadership abilities.
Coming in February!
Journey “under the sea” with Ariel and her aquatic friends in Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr.! ​In a magical underwater kingdom,
the beautiful young mermaid, Ariel, longs to leave her ocean home — and her fins — behind and live in the world above. But first,
she’ll have to defy her father, King Triton, make a deal with the evil sea witch, Ursula, and convince the handsome
Prince Eric that she’s the girl whose enchanting voice he’s been seeking.
This Disney classic is sure to enchant audiences of all ages!
