Find out why both parents and kids RAVE about this unique, specialized program! For anyone who begins Grade 1-8 in September, no previous experience necessary! Students learn & rehearse a musical, and perform a fully staged show at the end of each session. Costumes, sets, lights, microphones, and a 626 seat audience at our beautiful venue… it’s a true theatre experience! Each student receives individual coaching and direction, as well as scripts, written activities, tracks, video tutorials, and everything they need in order to put in additional time rehearsing at home. The learning continues outside of class!

We’re known for meeting each individual where they are, and helping them to feel comfortable stepping outside of their comfort zone. We coach students to embrace new challenges, which not only amounts to personal growth, but quickly builds community across the group. Each 2.5 hour weekly class is jam-packed with fun and learning. But more importantly, the values and soft skills acquired with each new session are immeasurable.

Students in grade 8 can choose which program they prefer; this 3 session Performance Program, or the September-May Teen Program. Get in touch for details.

For the June show, Tuesday students will need to miss an afternoon of school for stage rehearsal on Monday June 9th 2025.

These two final rehearsals, and the show, will be at the Chinese Cultural Centre for ALL students.

For the final two classes of each session, class days will vary for the final dress rehearsal and show.

Please note that there is one Saturday date for each session where a mandatory rehearsal takes place.



Character Development: This program helps build the following traits

  • Courage: Our students learn to accept themselves and others, and to celebrate their unique strengths! Our goal oriented programs consistently give them confidence as they get up in front of a live audience and showcase their ever-growing skills! Risk-taking and thinking outside of the box also add courage!
  • Responsibility: Students are guided through weekly goals to practice at home, and are given tools to help them to do that. They are accountable to their team, which quickly builds community as well. When it comes to the final show, they have to be responsible for their own part, costumes, props, and more!
