Our next production for 2nd - 7th graders is Seussical Jr, with performance dates mid-March 2013.  Having had an overwhelming response for audition spots for Seussical, Jr, we have responded by expanding to four casts for the production.  We have also brought on additional staff to accommodate a larger number of performers.

 

To accommodate the great interest in TAU's musical theater program, we have expanded the ages for our younger production to K-4th grade.  Winnie the Pooh will be a full production including choreography, costumes and sets, to be performed in a local school auditorium.  Our talented director for this program, Stephanie Prugh, has done quality work with youth in other theater programs.  Actors will meet on Wednesdays from 3:45-5:15 and some other selected dates closer to show time.  Each actor registered for the class/production will have the opportunity to audition and will be assigned a part in the show.  First through 4th grade registrations will be accepted through January 24th or until the program is filled, whichever comes first.  Call the office at 303-666-8517 to register.

 

 

We welcome Stephanie Prugh, our new K-4 Youth Theater Director.
