It also provides students with the opportunity to develop the necessary skills for a seamless transition to higher-level learning, such as our intensive Company program.
The year end musical will take place at The Beaverton Town Hall Theatre.
Program highlights:
An environment that challenges and supports the artistic growth of the students.
Specialized training in singing, dancing, and acting, equipping young artists with the essential skills needed to excel in musical theatre.
Workshops that emphasize technique, expression, and stage presence.
Mentorship by experienced instructors who provide constructive feedback and guidance.
