Storybook Teen Performance Classes
Storybook Teen Classes are for ages 12-18.
If student's 12th birthday falls during the current semester, they are eligible to participate;
however, if they are a first-time student, we recommend starting with the age 7-12 group first.
Students may still participate during the summer after high school graduation if they choose.
Each performance class runs approximately 10-12 weeks.
Details for each production can be found below!
Please read full schedule of rehearsals and performances before registering.
Each student who registers will receive a speaking role in the production unless they specifically request otherwise.
Registration will close when the maximum number of participants has been reached.
Auditions on the first day of class will determine part distribution.
No previous acting experience required to participate.
Students may participate in both a play and a musical if desired (when available).
Performance day call time is 2.5 hours prior to performance.
Parents will be asked to help during tech week by running ticket/concession sales, providing supplies, and assisting as needed. It is MANDATORY to help with strike (cleanup) after the close of each performance.

Show Description:
The Duchess is the finest little ship to sail the silver seas. As the travelers and crew prepare to depart on their ocean cruise, no one would expect a murderer to be among them. When the esteemed alchemist, Dr. Grover Cadigan, goes overboard, it’s up to James Bumble, the lovable and clumsy deckhand to figure out who did it and why. Was it the mean-spirited first mate Mr. Tibbons or the always calm Captain Cooper? It couldn’t have been the demanding rich lady or her overworked butler. How about the reporter running from her mistakes? Maybe it was the newlywed couple or the beautiful lounge singer. Whoever it was, Death Aboard the Duchess will keep the audience guessing and laughing until the very end.
