The spring Youth Theatre production will be The Addams Family Musical, which runs May 10 – 12.  Students may also participate in additional specialty workshops at no additional cost. All conservatory sessions mark the end of the session with onstage presentations for family and friends.

Every class is structured as an Acting Class where students learn the fundamentals of auditioning, studying, and performing. Guest Artists also come in to teach more specific subject matter such as audition techniques, movement, stage combat, and more. Students in the conservatory are invited to audition for the fall and spring Youth Productions. Additional workshops are added throughout the year and conservatory students are invited to attend at no additional costs.
