With the help of the other girls in the Orphanage, Annie escapes to the wondrous world of NYC. In adventure after fun-filled adventure, Annie foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations... and even befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt!

Show description: Bernard is planning a romantic weekend with his chic Parisian mistress in his charming converted French farmhouse, whilst his wife, Jacqueline, is away. He has arranged for a Condon Bleu cook to prepare gourmet delights, and has invited his best friend, Robert, along too to provide the alibi. It’s foolproof; what could possibly go wrong? Well…suppose Robert turns up not realizing quite why he has been invited. Suppose Robert and Jacqueline will NOT leave for the weekend. Suppose the cook has to pretend to be the mistress and the mistress is unable to cook. Suppose everyone’s alibi gets confused with everyone else’s. An evening of hilarious confusion ensues as Bernard and Robert improvise at breakneck speed.

This three-hour workshop will focus on strong audition techniques to help you give the best audition they can! All acting levels are welcome, even if you’ve never auditioned or taken a class before! We will be covering auditioning with a one-minute monologue as well as cold readings from a script. Have an audition piece you’ve been working on? Bring it in! Don’t know where to start in choosing a piece? We will email students resources prior to class as well as provide monologues and scenes to read!
If you’re interested in musical theater auditioning, you will be able to work with one of our musical theater teachers to even further hone your skills and help you perfect an audition song of your choice!
You will explore techniques for developing compelling, authentic characters and learn to calm the nerves that go with auditioning. This workshop will also cover what happens before and after your audition monologue, preparing you from the moment you step into the audition room!
Please note that while taking this workshop will be excellent at preparing you for an audition, it does not guarantee casting in a Dallas Theater production.

Travel back to the Renaissance for an hour of musical comedy gold in Something Rotten! JR. Adapted from the Broadway hit that Time Out New York hailed as "the funniest musical comedy in at least 400 years," Something Rotten! JR. celebrates one undeniable truth: “nothing’s as amazing as a musical!”
In the 1590s, brothers Nick and Nigel Bottom are desperate to write a hit play but are stuck in the shadow of that Renaissance rock star known as "The Bard." When a local soothsayer foretells that the future of theatre involves singing, dancing and acting at the same time, Nick and Nigel set out to write the world’s very first musical. But amidst the scandalous excitement of opening night, the Bottom Brothers realize that reaching the top means being true to thine own self, and all that jazz.

Multi-Session Introductory Class
Hand & Rod Puppetry 101 is a multi-session (Sept 28, Oct 5, 12, and 19) introductory course designed to introduce the fundamental ideas and techniques behind hand and rod puppetry.

This class is designed for performers seeking continued puppetry training, as well as artists, educators, and anyone curious about exploring puppetry in a focused, low-pressure environment. No prior puppetry experience is required.

Through guided exercises and exploration, participants will make specific choices, discover new character possibilities, and develop performances that feel alive, responsive, and intentional.
Skills covered in the class include:
-
Character intention
-
Emotional clarity through movement
-
Focus and thought-driven action
