We can provide kid care for children ages 1-5 for adults who sign up for a class. Just pay an additional $15 per child to get kid care for all four sessions. We do not offer child care on-demand so try to register a week in advance to be sure we can meet your child care needs.

The theater program costs $120 per student per month. Monthly payments are due on the first Friday. Bi-weekly payments are due the 1st and 3rd Fridays. Tuition does not include costumes or props, but we always work with students to find affordable options.
Minimum Student Requirement
This is our standard policy for minimal students per class, but we are being flexible with this policy as we launch.
Our group classes have a minimal requirement of six students to launch. Our musical theater shows have a minimal requirement of fifteen students to launch. If you sign up for a class and the minimal requirement of students for the class is not met, we will let you know if the same class is offered at another time which you might be able to attend. If no other options are available at a time that works for you, we will refund you for the class.
