We are first and foremost teaching directors. We love theatre and performers. It is our goal to transfer a lifelong love of theatre to our students along with the skills they'll need to be successful. We direct the way we would want to be directed. Our company has always been a performers first company. This results in happy performers; and happy performers have fun, work hard, and deliver great shows.Here is one of our past youth theatre projects, some fun kid pics, and Marvelous Matriculation Musical Spring 2006.
