MORE ABOUT CLASS ACT:
Class Act is a year-round theatrical program and non-profit theatre with ties to the San Fernando Valley since 1985. Our core musical theatre program is run out of Woodland Hills, where we produce three children's musicals every year. Our philosophy behind children's theatre is for everyone to have fun, feel included, and have their moment in the spotlight.
We encourage personal growth through creative expression and theatre while working with a team to accomplish the larger goal of performing a show together.
We embrace a double casting system in our regular program, as we feel it allows all young performers the chance to grow and experience theatre in a positive light. Each student who auditions for one of our shows will be cast in an age-appropriate main night role and a secondary ensemble role. We cast based on the audition, not based on the number of shows you have completed. Pending enrollment, we will also include a double-casting system at Mariposa.
Class Act’s mission is to positively impact the lives of its students and families, by encouraging personal growth through creative expression and theatre.
Our programs offer the fundamental backbone to excel on a personal and professional level. We cater to the needs of every student who enters our door.
OUR CORE VALUES:
Excel Creatively, Work as a Team, Impact the Community, and Always Have Fun
