Springboard 2019

Red Curtain's Springboard program challenges young actors to blossom as they learn the critical skills of teamwork, mutual respect, and self-discipline using the tools of musical theatre storytelling.

Students age 9 to 15 will audition for roles in The Locket, a musical theatre production especially suited for young actors (all registered students will be cast). Rehearsals are held four afternoons a week for six weeks (Mon.-Thurs., 4:30-6:30 p.m.), culminating in three fully-staged public performances of their show.

The process is guided by Red Curtain's  Youth Theatre Director, Sherry Penoyer, joined by a musical director, choreographer, and accompanist. The production is supported by Red Curtain's costume, props and set departments.

Tuition for the 2019 program remains the same -- $290 per student. A $90 deposit holds their spot. Use the form below to register, or call (360) 322-7402.
