TWEEN MUSICAL THEATRE (6th-7th Grade)
Our Musical Theatre Program has been the core of Class Act since 1985. We enroll every Spring, Summer, and Fall; and cater to kids in 6th-7th grade. Each season the tweens will audition for roles in multiple casts of a hit Broadway Musical. Each tween will receive a main night 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.
CHANGES TO THE PROGRAM FOR Spring 2025
SESSION DURATION/SINGLE REHEARSAL DAY
1. The session starts on 2/3 & 2/4 and will extend to a show weeks of 6/12-6/15 and 6/20-6/22. 16 weeks of rehearsals!
​
2. We will now offer two separate rehearsal days, dividing the group in half: a Monday group and a Tuesday group. Both groups will rehearse from 4-7:30 pm. (With the extended weeks, they will receive the same amount of rehearsal time as our Fall production)
