Broadway Revues are concerts filled with tunes from various musicals strung together with a theme. Each theme has a wide variety of musicals that fit it, which allows students the chance to explore many new musicals to broaden their knowledge on lesser known shows and showtunes (but still just as fun to sing!)

Every Revue rehearses for two weeks on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:30 to 7:30. At the first rehearsal, the students will learn a brief background on the theme and the significance of it in the world of musicals. Each student will then pick their solo song they wish to sing, as well as a duet or trio partner(s) and they will pick a song to sing together. All the students will also find out what the opening and closing numbers will be. 

The second rehearsal, they will find out the show order and will spend the night learning the two group numbers. The following week, they are expected to have memorized their solo songs as we run through those and spend time working on the duos and trio numbers. When the students are not working on their songs, they will get to pick out the costumes they wish to wear for their numbers from our stock costumes.

The last rehearsal will be the dress rehearsal and then the students will be ready to dazzle the audience in two fully staged performances – one on Friday night and the second on a Saturday afternoon.

The quick rehearsal process is meant to help prepare these students for our mainstage musicals, and professional theatre alike! The students will also walk away with a better knowledge of Broadway and will have some new showtunes to add to their repertoire. Each revue will feature 10 to 15 songs and will have a runtime of approximately 60 minutes.

Possible songs:
Any songs from a Rodgers & Hammerstein musical:
Cinderella
South Pacific
The Sound of Music
Oklahoma
Carousel
Show Boat
The King and I
Flower Drum Song
Pipe Dream
State Fair

Our spring mainstage show! This show will be fun for ALL AGES! We are looking for actors and dancers from age 6 on up to adults. Location TBA.

Inspired by the twisted genius of Roald Dahl, the Tony Award-winning Roald Dahl's Matilda The Musical is the captivating masterpiece from the Royal Shakespeare Company that revels in the anarchy of childhood, the power of imagination and the inspiring story of a girl who dreams of a better life. With book by Dennis Kelly and original songs by Tim Minchin, Matilda has won 47 international awards and continues to thrill sold-out audiences of all ages around the world.

Matilda is a little girl with astonishing wit, intelligence and psychokinetic powers. She's unloved by her cruel parents but impresses her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Over the course of her first term at school, Matilda and Miss Honey have a profound effect on each other's lives, as Miss Honey begins not only to recognize but also appreciate Matilda's extraordinary personality. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, however – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull, hates children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be the school pupils' saving grace!

Packed with high-energy dance numbers, catchy songs and an unforgettable star turn for a young actress, Matilda is a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special little girl with an extraordinary imagination.

A challenge for middle schoolers (grades 5-8) to fully stage and learn this show during our 6 week after school program.

Geek. Poser. Jock. Beauty Queen. Wannabe. These are the labels that can last a lifetime. With an unforgettable rock score from Tony Award-winning composer, Jason Robert Brown, (Parade, The Last Five Years, Bridges of Madison County) 13 is a musical about fitting in – and standing out!

Evan Goldman is plucked from his fast-paced, preteen New York City life and plopped into a sleepy Indiana town following his parents divorce. Surrounded by an array of simpleminded middle school students, he needs to establish his place in the popularity pecking order. Can he situate himself on a comfortable link of the food chain... or will he dangle at the end with the outcasts?!?

Composed of a precocious cast, no character in 13 is older than the show's title, making it wonderful for theatre companies that feature young artists. In the Broadway production, even the band was made up of teens, which is a fantastic way to involve a diverse group of artists. The cast is comprised entirely of teenagers, but the stories that come to life here are ageless, the emotions they explore timeless, the laughter and the memories they provide priceless.

A challenge for high school students to fully stage and perform this hit show during our 6-week after school program! It will end with two public performances on March 24 & 25.

Winner of the Tony and the Drama Desk Awards for Best Book, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee has charmed audiences across the country with its effortless wit and humor. Featuring a fast-paced, wildly funny and touching book by Rachel Sheinkin and a truly fresh and vibrant score by William Finn, this bee is one unforgettable experience.

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves! At least the losers get a juice box.

A riotous ride, complete with audience participation, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a delightful den of comedic genius. The small cast and unit set make this a perfect option for high schools or community theatres. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee is a fast-paced crowd pleaser and an instant theatre patron favorite.
