After Christmas, students begin work on our full-stage Spring Musical: Peter Pan Jr. Auditions are held in December, with rehearsals running January through April. On a weekly basis, Junior Company (ages 8–11) meets from 5:00–6:00 PM, and Senior Company (ages 12+) meets from 6:00–7:00 PM, allowing students to learn with their age group.
