Theatre Classes

Acting for Kids

Ages 6+

Dive into the creative world of acting with SAG-AFTRA actress (and fellow Ashford Park mom) Megan Gallacher Wells! 

Watch your child grow in confidence and poise as we learn acting techniques of how to build an authentic character and how to live in that character’s world through scenes from your child’s favorite movies and television shows, commercials, theater, improv, fun games, and so much more! We will build our skills to prepare for a small presentation of scenes and monologues to show off at the end of the semester!

Broadway Juniors

Ages 8-11

Created by TSB owner and former Broadway pianist, Don Jones, this class immerses kids into musical theatre in more depth than Broadway Kids. We spend two weeks on each song/dance from different musicals. By the end of the semester, the students are ready to perform a Broadway-worthy 20 minute showcase! The class is taught by Don and Christie, who teaches choreography. We move fast but we make sure everyone has the chance to do their best!

Triple Threat (Singing, Dancing, Acting)

In musical theatre, being a triple threat means there is no part of the show you cannot perform well. 

This class is a course of study in singing, dancing and acting and is designed for students wanting to level up their theatre skills. Join former Broadway pianist and TSB owner, Don as he brings in industry professionals to help teach this unique course! 

Pop Starz

New for the spring of 2025, Pop Starz class will feature new songs and dances each month with the option for students to also learn a solo. Kids can choose to add background vocals and work with our professional instructors to make their music come to life! The semester will end with a showcase for parents where kids can get glammed up and then sing with a live band on the last day of class!

Beauty and the Beast JR

Join us as we embark on telling a tale as old as time! Our spring musical will be sure to bring joy to the faces of our cast as they practice their parts and their family and friends will share in that joy when they watch the performance!

Students ages 5-13 are eligible to sign up.

Please note that students between the ages of 5-7 will be in the ensemble and will not have solos or lines. Students ages 8+ will audition on the first day of rehearsal and parts will be assigned before the next rehearsal.
