WORKSHOP IS BEST FOR MY CHILD?
SPRING EDITION
OUR SPRING SHOW TWO ACT WORKSHOPS ARE RUN A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY.
THIS SHOW WILL PERFORM MUCH MORE LIKE A ONE-ACT SHOW. WE HAVE ADDED
THIS SHOW TO GIVE OUR OLDER PERFORMERS A WORKSHOP TO PARTICIPATE IN
THE SPRING. COSTUMES ARE STILL RENTED, BUT THERE WILL BE NO SCHOOL
FIELD TRIP SHOWS AND THE PERFORMANCES WILL TAKE PLACE IN A SMALLER
THEATER.
