The course of instruction for these youngsters includes all aspects of theatre both on the stage and house operations.  History and evolution of theatre in various cultures are also part of the curriculum.

 They learn performance skills such as music, acting, choreography, voice, stage presence and projection. Most importantly, the students will develop necessary life skills of responsibility, accountability, teamwork and self-discipline. They will be performing in public throughout the year.
