What if your favorite books could jump right off the page? In Books Come Alive, young performers will discover the magic of storytelling through musical theatre! Students will explore beloved children's books through songs, creative movement, acting games, and imaginative adventures.

. Along the way, students will develop confidence, creativity, listening skills, and teamwork while learning the basics of singing and acting.

No reading required—just a big imagination and a love for fun!

The semester will conclude with being the pre-performance entertainment for Matilda Jr. on November 6th & 7th.

FAQs

Every performer starts somewhere.

Some students are finding their confidence, while others are ready to build on existing skills. Our classes develop foundational skills while challenging students to grow.

Students thrive when they get to explore their love of musical theatre in a nurturing space. Amidst the diverse landscape of theatre, Foundations creates a safe environment centered on our Christian values.

Classes meet for two hours each week and help students develop skills in acting, singing, dance, stage presence, and teamwork.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes; auditions are required, but everyone is given a part! Our mission is to help students build their theatre skills from the beginning. We require auditions to help students learn the full process of being involved in musical theatre. At Foundations the audition process is an encouraging and light-hearted environment. Everyone involved in the process is rooting for your child and wants them to succeed the best they can! We understand this is many students’ first time auditioning and give grace when there needs to be grace given. 

  • Participation is determined by the age of the student on the first day of rehearsal or class.

  • Yes, for every sibling that enrolls there will be $10 off ( for example if you enroll 3 students your discount total will be $20)
