Fall 2025 9th-12th grade musical
Anastasia
Auditions will be August 16-17, everyone gets a part!
We’re excited to present Anastasia as our Fall 2025 9th-12th grade musical! Everyone is welcome to participate no matter what type of previous experience you have. We have youth who have been performing for years as well as those who have never been on stage before.
Anastasia is the story of a brave young woman who sets out to discover the mystery of her past from the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing con man and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love and family.

Parent Information
We’ll be having a cast and parent meeting after our first Sunday practice on September 7th. At this meeting we’ll introduce ourselves, outline expectations of our performers, go over the attendance policy, and more. Additionally, we’ll go over opportunities for parents to get involved. As an all-volunteer program, we need your help as a parent to make sure things run smoothly for the kids! We’re in need of volunteers through the season, whether it’s bringing in snacks, watching kids during practices, selling concessions on show nights, setup/breakdown, or more.
The cost for our performing arts musical class is for $150. This cost goes towards scripts, props, costumes, and more, and includes a cast t-shirt. If you need financial assistance, please do not hesitate to let us know. Please email us for confidential scholarship information.
