The Bridge Program: A Pathway for Emerging Actors
The Bridge Program is a specialized theatre track designed to support and elevate beginning actors as they transition into more advanced levels of performance. This program serves as a crucial step between the minis and the middles.
Actors in the Bridge Program receive increased one-on-one coaching, allowing them to refine their skills in a more personalized setting.
Participants will engage in a more ambitious production than those in the minis. This includes:
- A longer and more complex show, providing greater depth of character and storytelling.
- Expanded opportunities for solo work, including monologues, featured scenes, or vocal solos.
- More intricate choreography and staging, challenging actors to grow physically and mentally as performers.
The Bridge Program nurtures a love for theatre while encouraging discipline, creativity, and a commitment to excellence. It’s an ideal next step for students who are ready to grow s a performer.
Annie, musical version (Ages 8-12)
With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City.

Annie eventually foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations, finding a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.
