Adventures | Ages 2 1/2 -4.
(Great class for siblings!)
What will you discover when you stumble upon some forgotten
fairy dust? Join Fiona the fairy and her friend Francesca as you help
them make magic on their very own fairy adventures!
Students delight in helping Fiona and Francesca in their
adventures! Join us every week for a new musical journey while
singing, dancing and acting along the way. Students make new
friends, connect to the musical theatre, and build a community
among young artists. Theatre helps young children develop social,
language, physical, and cognitive skills. Children must be potty-
trained and ready for a drop-off group experience.
Instructor: Margo Proeh, Gabrielle Garza & Children’s Theatre Staff.

Are you an aspiring young Fey or Fallon? Learn the improv skills
from First Line Freeze to Jump Emotions to Sphinx: and how to
build scene spontaneously in this fast paced and fun class. We work
on skills that get you out of your head and into your imagination,
the concept of “yes” and the importance of ensemble. The only
materials required for this fun class are an open mind and a sense
of adventure! Instructor: Margo Proeh, Gabrielle Garza & Children’s

For more than two decades, the Children’s
Theatre Company has provided musical theatre
and dance classes for 2½-18 year olds. Our
goal is to excite and embolden our students to
generate their own imaginative ideas through
the performing arts. Most importantly, we
want your children to feel empowered. Our programs are designed
around creating staged musical theatre performances through the
voices, visions, and ideas of our students.

Stage Stars | Grades K-5
Write, produce and perform in your own musical! This is the perfect
place for the young performer who is looking for a energized
class to let their talents shine. Harness the acting tools you already
possess – your body, voice, and imagination – to physically express
ideas, transform into multi-dimensional characters, and tell moving
stories. Gain skills in creative thinking and public speaking, building
confidence in yourself and your craft. Students choose current
pop hits and musical theatre songs to develop an original musical
using their own creative ideas to help write the play! They receive
a speaking role, sing and dance in the final class production. Skills
explored during this class include script writing, singing, dancing,
and acting. The session culminates with a final performance that
will be performed during our last class. Instructor: Margo Proeh,
