Class Description:

Showstoppers Jr. is a semester-long program for young people grades who are ready to commit to a rehearsal and performance process without the stress of an audition.

Students in this class will meet for an hour and thirty minutes once a week. During that time, the cast of Showstoppers Jr. will learn skills like audition preparation, rehearsal etiquette, collaboration, and – of course – they’ll learn their show!

This spring, Showstoppers Jr. presents…

Alice in Wonderland
