What We Offer

The Capital District really has many theater opportunities for students. Just about every week you will see advertisements for community musical theater auditions posted.

But we stand apart from all of the other theater opportunities. First, our primary concern is safety. All of our staff who work directly with the cast are New York State certified music, dance or theater teachers. That means that everyone has had a background check and has been fingerprinted. We think this is really important. You won't ever see random people in our studio that don't have credentials or have had a thorough background check.

Next, we love what we do. We put in many more hours than other organizations do. Every member has tailored costumes, wears a body mic, and is given opportunities for solos or spotlights when appropriate. We have a professional program that includes a head shot and bio on each cast member. Before you see our performance, you know you will be watching a quality performance by our Playbill.

We don't boast that we will create the next Broadway star. Don't get us wrong; if any of our students wound up on a Broadway stage we'd be right there in the first row cheering them on. What we are proud of is the confidence and work ethic that our students learn from being in our performances. We want this to carry on in their school work and life. We produce great performers who are considerate, loyal, caring and accepting toward everyone they meet. They don't settle for being "cute" on stage; they push themselves until they give their best performance possible. We welcome students with disabilities that are ready for the stage. Everyone has to start somewhere and we would love for it to be with us!

We also have a great time! We have dinners together, celebrate individual victories and support each other through difficult times. We have an outstanding parent support group that will welcome you to the group as if you have been here with us from the beginning. Our goal is the same for all of us - we want the best for our kids.

Last but not least, we have music theory classes as a regular part of our rehearsals. This includes sight singing. We want them to be independent musicians as soon as possible!
