ProgramsMUSICAL THEATRE

Enjoy being part of and creating a full theatrical production during the school year with one of your favorite musicals! Students ages 6-14 journey together through preparing a full-scale junior production of film classics and Broadway favorites. Students gain total access to our state-of-the-art facility and performance space – all under the expert guidance of Real School Instructors. From experiencing auditions, callbacks, and casting, to improvisation and stage presence, all rehearsals are designed to be “hands on” and high energy! In addition to regular rehearsals, students will benefit from a tech week leading up to their performances where they’ll have daily rehearsals to put the final touches on the show.

School Year productions take place over 12 weeks with one rehearsal each week and daily rehearsals during tech week before taking to the stage for a minimum of two performances for friends and family.

Summer productions take place over just two weeks with daily weekday rehearsals from 9am-4pm as part of RealJams Academy, culminating in one final performance. Learn more about RealJams.
