Final Call: The Sound of Music Auditions
The hills are coming alive, but time is running out! Our major summer production is The Sound of Music, and we are looking for our Von Trapp family.

Participating in a full-scale production helps students develop discipline and teamwork.

Top Audition Tips for Young Stars
Auditions can be nerve-wracking, but they are also a great way for kids to practice public speaking: a skill that Psychology Today highlights as a major benefit of youth theater. Here’s how to prepare:
- Pick the Right Piece: Choose a song or monologue that fits your personality.
- Memorize Early: Being "off-book" allows you to focus on acting, not just remembering lines.
- Be Yourself: Our industry-professional instructors love seeing your unique personality shine!
Weekly Summer Camps: A Theme for Every Dream
Looking for things for kids in Rockwall? Our Weekly Summer Camps are the perfect way to spend a week. We offer morning, afternoon, and full-day options for themes including:
- Moana & The Lion King
- Peter Pan & The Little Mermaid
- Wizard of Oz & Frozen
Summer Intensives & Private Lessons
For those looking to level up their skills, our Summer Intensives focus on specialized crafts:
- Improv: Great for quick thinking and confidence.
- Film & TV: Specifically geared toward commercial work.
- Musical Theater: A deep dive into singing, dancing, and acting.
If your child needs personalized attention, we also offer Summer Privates in Acting, Dance, and Voice. These one-on-one sessions are perfect for preparing for college auditions or mastering a difficult vocal piece. Research in the American Journal of Play suggests that structured creative play and performance arts help children develop 21st-century skills like critical thinking and collaboration.
