FALL REGISTRATION
*The registration lottery submission window is closed*
You can still add your child's name to the waitlist!
We are once again using a lottery-style system to make the registration process more fair and relaxed for everyone. To alleviate the stress of having to be online the moment registration opens—and to ensure internet speed doesn’t determine access—we’ve moved away from a first-come, first-served model. You will hear back about your enrollment status by June 15th.

Financial Aid
Scholarships are available for all of our programs for those who qualify. If you would like to be considered, please click the link below to apply.
Our primary consideration for financial aid qualification is annual income and the number of dependents in the household. We also take into account extenuating circumstances such as job lay offs or furlough, unexpected financial burdens, etc. We strive to make theater accessible to all and to mitigate the barrier of entry to the extent of our ability.
Cancellation Policy
We know life happens and plans change!
If a program is full, as long as we are able to find another child to fill the spot before the session begins, we are happy to give:
-
a full refund if registration is cancelled before role placement
-
a half refund if registration is cancelled after role placement
