From Our Executive Director

Hello friends of First Act Theatre Arts,

We are in the first act of our first year of operations under a new name, and I couldn’t be prouder. I could go on and on about what makes First Act Theatre Arts amazing from a programming perspective but what I would most like to brag about, however, is YOU. YOU the staff, the board, the production teams, the volunteers, the parents, the students – all of you coming together, loving this organization and one another to ensure that First Act as an organization and community thrives. 

In the 4 weeks I’ve been here I’ve seen the amazing office staff step up to work countless hours without complaint to ensure that all the behind the scenes needs are taken care of as we launch into a new era. I’ve experienced the joy of watching spectacular camp shows produced in a finite amount of time by talented campers and their dedicated counselors. I’ve witnessed acts of kindness by students towards one another in sacrificially giving prized items away. I’ve been beyond grateful for board members who go the extra miles in dedicating their time and service to ensure that First Act Theatre Arts flourishes while at the same time working their own full-time jobs and raising their families. I am in awe of the skills, the hearts and the visions of our dedicated top-notch programming staff who bring their best in all they do and am daily inspired by the multitude of unsung heroes who give of their time and talents never asking for anything in return.

This my friends, is a special place. At First Act Theatre Arts we will continue to move forward, to grow and thrive. Because at the end of the day, with God’s help, it is YOU who make it all possible.

Thank you for allowing me to journey with you.

Onward we go,
Cindy
Our fall semester classes are registering now, and we are so excited for our new studio tracks!

Acting Studio - Acting classes create well-rounded young actors. By working on scene study skills, building relationships with their fellow actors, and channeling their imagination, actors build confidence and gain the tools they need to make a script their own.

Dance Studio - Our focus is on technical training for theatrical performances and professional dance training. Through self-discipline and dedication each student will gain knowledge and skills in many disciplines of dance and styles as well as a heightened self-esteem and passion for dance.

Vocal Studio - Basic musical knowledge and proper vocal technique are essential parts of musical theatre performance. Through both introduction to voice classes and private vocal coaching, our vocal studio focuses on ensuring that students perform with confidence and maintain their vocal health.
