Sky's The Limit Youth Theatre
We help students discover/further nurture their love of performing by providing them with an opportunity to experience what it’s like to rehearse for a full blown musical production! You do not need to audition to participate in the class but we will be holding auditions over the first couple classes in order to cast the show!
This year we will be helping students develop skills in acting, singing and dancing through rehearsals for our production of James and the Giant Peach!
