**Important Note for Parents:

We take our mainstage productions very seriously. Thousands of hours go into bringing these shows to the community. It is an amazing opportunity for a child to be involved in a production of this caliber, but also a huge responsibility for the parents.

Children ages 8-12 must be accompanied by a parent at ALL times. This includes auditions, rehearsals, works days, and performances. In addition to being responsible for your child, please also note that young children cannot do this on their own. It will require a parent to be focused during rehearsals, taking notes, and helping their child learn their lines, music, and choreography at home.

Ages 13 to 15 – A parent must attend some rehearsals and be involved with the show either onstage or through volunteer work.  

If you are interested in more of a drop-the-kids-off opportunity, please look into our theatre classes & workshops
