[Insert good hook for “Built for the Stage” here]
This fall, we kick off a four-part season series designed to build up our performing artists from the inside out. In this first chapter, we focus on characterization—how performers bring stories to life through voice, imagination, and emotional depth. Whether students are discovering how to embody Snoopy in our Peanuts revue or diving into the delightful chaos of 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, every class is a chance to explore who we are on stage and off. Our Mainstage musical Annie will challenge students to dig deep, connect with the heart of the story, and shine as fully realized characters.
As always, our classes are designed to meet students where they are while gently stretching their skills. With playful revues, skill-building labs, and material from beloved shows, there’s something for every budding storyteller. And this is only the beginning—just wait until you see what’s next in our journey toward becoming truly Built for the Stage.
