Performers, ages 7-16, will participate in this double streamed musical theatre program in preparation for a production of BEAUTY AND THE BEAST. Every participant will have a role or be featured in some way in the final presentation regardless of previous experience. You do not need to audition to be in this program. We will determine production roles based on class assessments and role auditions in the fall. Students will be assigned to groups based on their age and skill level.
It is our intention to run this program in person in the Fall as restrictions lift. As always, we will do so in full accordance with the COVID safety guidelines set out by the province.
How do the streams work?
Students should register in either the Recreational or the Advanced stream. Both streams will receive the same amount of attention and all students will get to perform at the end of the season on stage. The major difference is that the advanced stream will move more quickly and the material will be more challenging. You must have previous experience to register for the advanced stream.
Not sure which stream?
If you can identify with any of the following statements, you should enrol in our recreational stream:
“My child loves to sing, dance and act. They have limited experience, but tons of passion!”
“My child has performed in three or less productions. They feel confident on stage, but have no formal voice or dance training.”
“My child sings in the school choir and loves drama class, but has limited dance experience.”
If you can identify with any of the following statements, you should enrol in our advanced stream:
“My child has formal dance training, formal voice training and has been in several productions.”
“My child attends a performing arts school for dance, drama or vocal music.”
“My child sings in a choir, has been in a play, has some experience with dance and picks up music and choreography quickly.”
*As a reminder, one stream is not better than the other and all children will be mixed together for the final productions. We want all students to thrive and succeed and placement is important. If you’re unsure, you can reach out to our Director at director@travellingstage.com

Testimonials from Previous Production Programming:
“Mike and I would like to personally thank you Toni, and your AMAZING team on the wonderful production of the Wizard of Oz. Caitlin has always been a “performer” at home, but her experience over the past 10 weeks with all of you has funnelled her passion, and has introduced her to the art of performing. She has loved every single second with the Traveling Stage! As parents, we are so proud of what she has accomplished with you all. Thank you!!”

“We just wanted to thank you for all of your hard work that you put into The Wizard of Oz production. We only have rave reviews for your team and have only heard the same from family and friends. This was definitely no standard public school performance but indeed was a real production. The time you dedicated to this weekend’s performance did not go unnoticed. My daughter was always smiling when she left her acting classes and would sing for hours after coming home. As a mom that’s all we really want, to see our child happy and that she was.”

“I wanted to say congratulations on a superb production of the Wizard of Oz! I was truly amazed at how you and the rest of your crew pulled everything together in just 10 weeks and with 40+ kids. We had friends and relatives attend the shows and they all thought it was fantastic. Aliya absolutely loved being a part of the production. This was her very first time on stage and your Sunday sessions really helped her gain confidence in her singing and her acting. She hopes to continue studying performing arts in high school and this opportunity confirmed her love and passion for the arts. For that, thank you! She is very sad to see that it is over but hopes to return in the near future. Again, thank you! You helped make our little girl shine.”
