Springboard 2020

NOTE: Springboard's schedule has been moved, with classes/rehearsals beginning June 1. Please note that deposits made are fully refundable if the program cannot happen this spring.

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.

The 6-week program is designed for students ages 9 to 15, with rehearsals four days a week followed by a weekend of public performances of a fully-staged musical.

The tentative schedule: rehearsals will begin June 1, 2020, with rehearsals Monday thru Thursday from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Performances are set for July 10-11. Auditions will be held May 27. All registered students will be cast in the show.

For this year's show, the instructors have chosen "A Connecticut Yankee: The Musical," a modern adaptation of Mark Twain's classic story, "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court." Hank, a clever student who is working on his school play, is knocked unconscious and "wakes up" in Camelot! Through encounters with King Arthur, Guenevere, Sir Lancelot, Merlin, and even Morgan LeFey, Hank brings modern technology to the medieval kingdom and learns a bit about himself along the way.

Tuition is $290 for the full program. A $90 deposit holds your student's place, with the balance due the first day of class.
