Act! Sing! Dance! Musical Theatre Workshop gives young artists, ages 7 to 18, the tools to grow as performers and the chance to shine in a final presentation for friends and family.
Each 10-week session blends high-energy training with rehearsal, as students rotate through dedicated time in acting, voice, and dance. Along the way, they build confidence, strengthen technique, and learn what it means to be part of a true ensemble.
It’s a space for creativity, new skills, and joyful collaboration where every rehearsal is a chance to grow, and every artist has something unique to bring to the story.

vaultworks
An audition-only training ground for the next generation of bold, curious artists.
VaultWorks Artist Training is a year-long, selective ensemble of young artists committed to advanced training and performance. Through focused work in voice, movement, and acting, participants develop professional-level skills while applying them in a rigorous production process.
This program is designed as a year-long immersive experience, but students may choose to participate in one semester. Enrollment in the fall semester guarantees casting in the spring production. If space allows, additional auditions will be held in November for the spring production.
AUDITIONS
September 5th 3-5pm
What to prepare and info about auditions in the Sign-Up Form below.
Fall Semester – Ensemble Training & Skill Development
In the fall, students train as an ensemble, building the skills required for highly theatrical, imaginative storytelling. Using Peter and the Starcatcher as a framework, young artists develop technique in voice, text work, movement, stage combat, and collaborative storytelling. Sessions are fast-paced and hands-on, pushing students to make bold choices, respond in the moment, and work with precision and clarity. This semester focuses on building a shared performance vocabulary and the discipline needed to step into a demanding rehearsal process. These classes are taught by a series of artists with expertise in acting, movement, music, stage combat, dialects, and more.
Fall Semester Dates
Tuesdays - 6:30-8:30pm
October 6th - December 15th
Cost: $500
Spring Semester – Rehearsal & Performance
In the spring, the ensemble transitions into rehearsal, applying their training to a full production of Peter and the Starcatcher. Students engage in a rigorous rehearsal process, developing character, refining physical storytelling, and shaping the world of the play through ensemble work. From first read-through to tech and performance, artists experience the full arc of production, culminating in public performances that showcase both individual growth and the strength of the ensemble.
Students who participate in Fall Semester are guaranteed a spot in Peter and Starcatcher in the spring. They can opt out if they choose. Auditions will be held in class in November for casting. Students can audition for spring semester only if space permits.
