Our Musical Theater program for 2026/2027 is currently full.
The KCB Musical Theater Program invites children and teens in our communities to explore musical theater and performance in a hands-on, on-stage experience! Students will learn musical theater principles, song and dance, and perform in a musical production, Annie Jr.
Our school year hits the ground running with an immersive workshop designed to explore the heart of musical theater. Performers will step on stage to sing, act, and dance in hands-on activities that create a deep understanding of musical theater as an art form. Each child will find what makes them unique as a performer.
- Confidence Building: Every child takes the stage, gaining the confidence to perform in front of an audience and shine in their own unique way.
- Teamwork & Discipline: Choir members learn the importance of collaboration, discipline, and responsibility while creating beautiful music together.
- Fun & High Energy: It’s not just about singing—our show choir mixes music and movement, ensuring every practice and performance is filled with excitement.
- Diverse Performance Opportunities: From school events to local competitions, our kids get the chance to perform in a variety of fun and fulfilling settings.
Whether your child dreams of being the next Broadway star or simply wants to explore the world of music and performance, our show choir offers the perfect blend of creativity, fun, and learning. Join us today, and let’s make music and memories together!
Give your child the opportunity to be part of something special—where music comes to life. ✨
