Charlotte Academy of Music - SHINE Musical Theatre Program

We believe that Theater is a great art form for everyone to explore, and an exciting way for students to develop many skills. Our young actors are given so much more than just training in acting, singing, and dancing. They are given confidence, friendships, positive role models, and lasting memories. Nurture your gifts and get ready to SHINE!

Rising Stars Ages 5-8
In Rising Stars, your child will explore musical theatre through song, dance, and acting. We start each class with improv games and vocal warm ups, then dive into singing, acting, and choreography. This class establishes the building blocks of musical theatre performance while nurturing creativity, confidence, and imagination. This class will culminate in a spectacular Musical Revue on November 11th! New this year, our Rising Stars will perform an opening number in our Spring Mainstage Production!

Tuesdays 4:45-5:30 PM
September 9 – November 11

Shining Stars
Shining Stars focuses on developing those Triple Threat skills… singing, dancing, and acting. Your child will learn techniques for creating believable characters, while also building musicianship skills that will prep them for future auditions, such as our Winter Musical Production. Shining Stars is also excellent preparation for winter and spring productions at school and community theatre. Using music from some of the greatest Broadway shows, the class culminates in a Musical Revue on November 13th for Shining Star families. New this year, our Shining Stars will perform in the opening number of our Fall Mainstage Production!

Thursdays 4:30-5:30 PM
September 11 – November 13
