Camps are held at various locations. See camp registration for details.

Does my child need to have previous theatre experience?

No! Classes/Camps are open to students of all levels and experience. We encourage everyone to enroll.

How do I register for a class/camp?

All registration is online. Immediately upon completing your registration, you should receive a confirmation email. If you do not, please follow up with [email protected]

What is your payment/refund policy?

Full payment must be made at time of registration.

Do you offer financial aid?

Yes! Please visit our Financial Aid webpage for application information and deadlines to submit.

Can we bump my child up or down a grade level?

No. Students learn better, enjoy themselves more and are more free to be creative with those their own age/grade.

Am I permitted in the room with my child?

No. To provide the best possible learning experience, only registered students, staff, and assistants are permitted in the classroom. This policy helps us maintain a safe environment while encouraging young people to develop confidence, independence, and focus.

In our experience, students are often more willing to take creative risks and fully participate when they have the opportunity to learn on their own. Thank you for your understanding and support.

What if my child needs to miss a class?

Theatre is a collaborate art, and each student’s presence matters — we ask that absences be kept to a minimum.

However, we know families have other commitments and life happens — simply let us know ahead of time if you’ll be missing class.

Please note that partial refunds are not available for missed classes and no makeup sessions are available for classes/camps.

How will we know if class is cancelled due to weather?

If our Indiana weather results in class cancellations, notice will be posted on our Facebook/Instagram. Our automated voice message will also be updated, so you can call the office at 260-422-6900. Please check before heading out on the road and stay safe!

Will there be an end of Class/Camp performance?

It depends! Mini-sessions and single-day camps/workshops may be experience-based only with no performance expectations.

If there will be a performance, details will be sent via email at least 1 week prior to the event or included in registration information.
