Acting Out is thrilled to be offering our annual summer SHINE program! The entire session and final performances will be at our Acting Out! space.
Our young stars will be immersed in the basics of musical theater as they learn music, dance, vocals, costumes, and set design! Students will enjoy theater games and creative projects all while rehearsing for FINDING NEMO!
​
Our theater intensive is for all skill levels and will give every cast member a chance to shine! We focus on self-confidence, self-expression, commitment, and of course, FUN!
