Grades 4-6

Oh, the places you'll go in this whimsical mini musical! Explore the world of Seussical by learning a selection of songs and scenes inspired by the beloved Broadway musical. Bring favorite Dr. Seuss characters like Horton the Elephant, the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, and JoJo to life while strengthening singing, acting, and ensemble skills in a fun, rehearsal-based class designed to prepare young performers for future musicals.

Please note this class will not meet on 9/7.

Grades 4-6

Theatre is more than telling stories, it's creating worlds. Through collaborative acting and devising, performers will imagine everything from the setting and its rules to the characters who call it home. Ideas come to life through improvisation, character development, and ensemble storytelling as each new scene expands the world they've created together. The session culminates in an original theatrical adventure built entirely from the group's imagination.

Please note this class will not meet on 9/7.

Grades 7-12

Welcome to JT studio, a series of intensive programs geared towards students looking for advanced training. Ideal for students pursuing musical theatre at a high level, this course builds the confidence, technique, and artistry needed to shine in both solo and collaborative settings.

This class will meet according to the following schedule: 

• Sept. 19: 12–3:30
• Sept. 26: 12–3:30 
• Oct. 3: 12–3 

In this JT Studio workshop, we'll explore acting techniques through voice and movement using Bogart and Landau’s viewpoints, Uta Hagen's character analysis and Stanislavski’s revolutionary acting method. We'll apply these techniques towards monologues and share our progress for family and friends in our final class. Come prepared with a sense of curiosity and willingness to play!  

Ages 8+

A great actor always prepares! Work with Shellina Hefner, director of JT’s upcoming production of Holes, to build confidence and set yourself up for success in the audition room.

Gain valuable feedback in a supportive setting and leave your stage fright at the door!

Grades K-6th 

School may be out, but theatre is in! Elementary students are welcome to join us for four fun-filled days rotating through classes in drama, music, dance, and art. Whether your student is used to the spotlight or new to the stage, our Thanksgiving Break camp has something for everyone!

Students must be fully potty-trained to participate in camps and classes. For the safety of all students, we have a closed classroom policy. Adults are not permitted to sit in on JT clamps until our invited Open Sharing on the final day of camp. 

A detailed informational letter will be sent out the week prior to camps. Students should bring a water bottle, closed-toe shoes, sack lunch, and two snacks.
