Intermediate Musical Theatre
The Intermediate Musical Theatre Program is a year long performance class for students ages 11-14. This class builds a solid foundation in the musical theatre disciplines of singing, dancing & acting and celebrates a year’s work with a complete run of shows at StageFest in June of each year.
It expands and develops on the knowledge from the teachings of the Junior Musical Theatre Program while also inviting students new to musical theatre to experience all the excitement and satisfaction of preparing a production. The first half of the year is dedicated to building a strong team. Students focus on acting, singing and dancing technique in both individual and group oriented games and exercises. This technique term will lay the foundation for the rehearsal term. During this time students channel all their theory knowledge towards the rehearsal and performance of a 1-Act Musical as part of our yearly festival in June. Designed to encourage beginners and returning students an opportunity to flex their creative muscles, grow and develop as young artists, make new and long lasting friendships and experience the thrill of storytelling at its finest.

Commitment
It is important to know that this program requires a commitment, even though it’s accepting beginners. If being included in this program doesn’t make your top three priorities for the week it is not the program for you. We want to be very upfront about this because we want you to succeed. Being a part of a musical requires excellent attendance at class/rehearsals as well as diligent, but manageable, rehearsal at home. Only those who are prepared to give their best should consider registering.
What’s included in the tuition?
- Costume Rental
- Headshot
- Materials (script, worksheets, rehearsal music, practice videos etc.)

Parent Involvement
As with many child and youth centred organizations we always look to parents and other grown ups for assistance with
- Set Building/Painting
- Props Treasure Hunting/Making
- Advertising/Marketing
- Backstage Assistance
- Hair/Makeup
- and much more!
This programs will give you a chance to really get involved in your child’s class and show them how important their efforts are and how much you value their experience in the show. We respect the busy schedules that parents but we do ask that you give what you can when you are available. You do not have to be Michelangelo to paint a set nor do you have to be Coco Chanel to sew a costume! We take any and all experience levels and encourage you to step outside your comfort zone and try your hand at a new craft…who knows, maybe you’ve got some hidden talents!
