About the Class

Our Triple Threat classes are designed for passionate, curious young performers who want to fall in love with musical theatre — or take their craft to the next level. Through an immersive blend of dance, singing, acting, and stage performance fundamentals, students develop the tools, confidence, and creative voice to thrive both on stage and beyond.

Whether your student is brand new to theatre or dreams of performing professionally one day, Triple Threat meets them where they are. No previous experience required.

Triple Threat is a required class for students enrolled in our Fall and Spring Productions. Production students receive priority enrollment and are automatically registered for their production months. Limited spots are available each season for non-production students.
