We are a comprised collective of local parents with a profound passion for the theatrical arts.
Our diverse expertise spans childhood development, dance, choreography, graphic design, costume design, prop design, set design, stage acting, writing, and directing.
We are so grateful to the families who entrust us with their children and to the broader community for their unwavering support. Our team is continually amazed by those who encourage us, support us, and volunteer with their unique talents. Thank you for being a part of our journey.
