2019-2020 Music and Theatre Classes for 3rd-8th Grade

Classes begin the week of August 26, 2019

Junior Production Company:  3rd-8th Grade

ArtWorks Academy  believes  performing  provides  opportunities  for  growth  and  development. Collaborating with peers to produce a play or musical teaches students the importance of teamwork, while building self-confidence. ArtWorks Academy productions are open to students with varying levels of experience in 3rd-8th grade.  Students in 7th and 8th grade can choose to be in Junior or Senior Production Company.

Each semester this class will rehearse and perform a musical. Students will be instructed in every aspect of the production process. Auditions will be held during the second week of class. All enrolled students will be cast in the production. Each student will have their moment to shine!

Some Saturday rehearsals are required. In addition to the $68.00 monthly tuition, there is also a $100.00 Production Fee per semester, as well as an annual $25 enrollment fee. The Production Fee helps cover the cost of costumes, theatre rental, set, props, etc.  Click here for more details.

Acting and Play Production: 5th-12th grade

This is primarily a performance based class, but we will start by learning the fundamentals of acting and audition technique.  Students will apply their knowledge as they audition for our spring play, Tom Sawyer. All students enrolled in the class will be cast in the play. After auditions and casting have concluded, all students will begin to gain the powerful hands on experience of producing a play.  Rehearsals will be held during their normal class time, with the possibility of a few extra rehearsals being called the weeks leading up to the play. 

Tom Sawyer is a straight play and NOT a musical.

Performances for Tom Sawyer will be April 24-26, 2020.  In addition to the monthly tuition, there is a one time $55 Production Fee, which is due by January 15, 2020.  This fee helps cover the cost of the royalties, set, costumes, etc.  Parents will receive two free tickets to the play per child enrolled (two total NOT two per show).  Additional tickets can be purchased for $8 each.

Teacher approval is not required

Junior Players: K-8th grade

Using the knowledge and skills they gain in class, students will collaborate to produce two productions.  The first will be a musical revue, HallowSING Spooktacular.  The second will be the musical, Disney's The Lion King KIDS during the spring semester. All students enrolled in the class will be cast in the musical. After auditions and casting have concluded, all students will begin to gain the powerful hands on experience of producing a musical.  Rehearsals will be held during their normal class time, with the possibility of a few extra rehearsals being called the weeks leading up to the performances.
