Performance Showcases

Performance Showcases are offered each semester in acting or musical theatre. Actors learn the process of putting on a play through the audition and rehearsal process and into performance. Our Young Musical Theatre Showcase is for ages 5-7, Advanced Musical Theatre Showcase for ages 8-18, and our Teen Acting Showcase is for ages 12-18. For our Advanced Musical Theatre Showcase and Teen Acting Showcase, we recommend previous acting/musical theatre coursework and/or summer production experience.

The Academy’s Performance Showcases take actor training to the next level as students stage a fully realized production. Performance Showcases are offered each semester.
