The Shanachie STARS is a weekly performing arts school, based within the Shanachie Theater, for children aged between six and sixteen, where they can learn to perform through singing, dancing, and acting under the tutelage of respected professionals within each field.
The semesters run concurrent with the school calendar, from September to June, with time off for school holidays. Classes take place each Saturday morning, from 9:00 a.m. until 12:00 noon.
Classes are split into two age appropriate groups, where young people learn new skills in each of the complementary Musical Theater disciplines of singing, dancing & drama. We nurture the shy and apprehensive, until they find their feet and voice, whilst at the same time developing and channeling those with bundles of talent, confidence and energy. Every child has the potential to do something wonderful with their own thoughts and actions, and we aim to help them develop that potential as they grow.
Each child who attends STARS is also considered a member of the Shanachie Theater Company, and should children's roles present themselves, will be given the opportunity to audition, if they would like to perform with the Company itself. In addition, depending on the theater schedule, there may be a performance by STARS at the end of the school year, where the children can show off to parents and families what they have learned during the year.
Our teachers have volunteered their time and energy with great enthusiasm, and look forward to each and every session with our amazingly talented young people.
