KIDS MUSICAL THEATRE (1st-5th Grade)
Our Kids Musical Theatre Program has been the core of Class Act since 1985. We enroll every Spring, Summer, and Fall; and cater to kids in 1st-5th grade. Each season the kids will audition for roles in multiple casts of a hit Junior Broadway Musical. Each kid will receive an age-appropriate primary role (lead, supporting, or featured) and a secondary ensemble role. This double-casting system will allow each performer the chance to perform in two shows each season.
UPDATED POLICY CHANGE:
Past Due Balances:
If you have a past due balance from a previous production, you must either pay the balance in full or be enrolled in an active payment plan in order to register for the upcoming production.
If you do not resolve your balance or enter into a payment plan, your current registration will be canceled.
You can register with a deposit of $100
