Grace Brethren AFTER-SCHOOL Musical Theatre Workshop
Fall 2022 Presents:

In our after-school elementary theatre program, we teach students how to develop and improve creative skills through a variety of theatre experiences and performances. We give students opportunities to apply their imaginations in theatre activities to perform with self-confidence, participate collaboratively, and enhance problem-solving abilities. We believe that developing Godly character and excellence in our younger kids through the arts and creative learning helps them to develop into well-balanced students.

If you attended any of our previous productions including, The Lion King Kids, Aladdin Kids, Annie Kids, or The Music Man, you know you are in for a treat as Grace Brethren’s After School Musical Theater presents:  “Frozen Kids!" 

The program is an instructional musical theater workshop emphasizing musical/vocal training, acting, and choreography for grades 3rd through 6th culminating in a theater production. 

• If your student would like to participate in Newsies we recommend doing Frozen first. This will allow students to grow and learn the basic show process. Each show will have an audition for our directors to evaluate each student.
• If your student is participating in Newsies in the Springs, Tuesday will be designated for dance rehearsal.

Any questions may be directed to Mrs.  Jennifer Carter, Director, via email at jcarter@gracebrethren.com.
