"Summer Theatre in the Park"
Summer programs at Performing Arts 5678 take place in our outdoor amphitheatre! Newly renovated, our space offers a secluded, "park-like" setting, allowing everyone to not only enjoy performing, but also the beautiful fresh air. Our indoor studio is used for rehearsals during inclement weather and/or when rehearsing multiple elements at the same time.
BALLET/TAP
(4 - 6 year olds)
5/20, 6/3, 6/10, 6/17
9:00am - 9:45am
​
This 4-week class will introduce beginner students to the joy of dance with both ballet and tap. In ballet, they will be exposed to terminology with warm-ups, stretches, and across-the-floor work. In tap, concepts of counting, rhythm, and beat will be used, exposing students to the fundamentals of tap dance. Without the stress of a performance, this is a wonderful way to see if young students enjoy the structure of a proper dance class, giving parents an idea as to whether or not they should commit to yearly classes in the future. This class takes place inside our studio. ($60) REGISTER HERE

ACTING PLAY
​
Mary only has twenty minutes to finish her paper on The Great Gatsby. She just needs to check a few facts on the internet first. Unfortunately, the web is a nefariously wacky place where boxing cats, Facebook lurkers, and pig-throwing games threaten to take over her schoolwork, or worse. Will she finish her paper and escape with her life before the school bell rings? A high-octane comedy that explores the rabbit hole of distraction we all go down everytime we go online.

Summer 2023
"Theatre in the Park"
Ages 4 - 18
How are we different?
-
Tuition is all-inclusive!
-
No ticket fees for audience.​
-
No fees for video or photo footage.
-
No additional Summer costumes fees.
-
-
NO double casting.
-
Your role is your role, and you get 100% of rehearsal and performance time, rather than observing while counter-parts rehearse and perform.
-
You are cast in a role that will showcase your talents and abilities the whole time! You are not compared to the alternate cast member.
-
Your talents and capabilities are utilized! (IE: If you can dance, boy, will you dance!) With PA5678, you are not limited to the alternate cast member's skillset.
-
Time is not spent re-teaching two casts (equaling less rehearsal). This frees up everyone's time during Summer months.
-
-
Seasoned Directors, Choreographers & Musical Directors.
-
Each program is led by adult Directors/Choreographers/Musical Directors with years of both professional performance and teaching experience. Student directors are not in charge. ​
-
We are parents. Not only are our leaders experienced professionals, but we are also parents, and understand the balance of fun and hard work. We understand what students are capable of at various ages, and present attainable material, allowing each age group to not only have fun, but also be challenged. As instructors, we teach so that everyone who comes across our path can reach their full potential. As parents, we nurture, protect, and want the best for each performer.
