Welcome To Fall 2026
At The Curtain Playhouse we have classes for students in Kindergarten through High School. No audition is required and all students are accepted regardless of skill level. If you have questions about our class offerings please email us at perform@thecurtainplayhouse.com.
This Fall, we are offering classes for three different age groups:
Grades K-12 meet Mondays, 4:45-6:30
Grades K - 3 meet Tuesdays, 4:30 - 6:00
Grades 6 - 12 meet Wednesdays, 4:30 - 6:30

Our NEW MONDAY class is open to grades K-12, 4:45-6:30
**We consider 3rd grade and 6th grade "cross-over years". Some families feel their child is ready to move-up to the older group, some feel they should stay with the younger kids. If your child is newer to theatre, we usually recommend they stay with the younger group.
Classes are marked "SOLD OUT" when they are full. If you would like to be placed on a wait list for a full class, please email our registrar at
tammy@thecurtainplayhouse.com.
Many of our classes do sell out. Register early!
BRAND NEW for Fall, 2026:
Welcome to our NEW Monday Class for grades K-12!
Disney's Newsies Jr. is specially written for student actors. The 2012 Broadway musical is based on the 1992 film. Inspired by the rousing true story of newsboys in turn-of-the-century New York City, Newsies Jr. features a Tony Award-winning score by Alan Menken and Jack Feldman and a book by Tony Award-winner Harvey Fierstein.
When powerful newspaper publishers raise prices at the newsboys' expense, the charismatic Jack Kelly rallies newsies from across the city to strike against the unfair conditions. Together, the newsies learn that they are stronger united and create a movement to fight for what's right.
Including the now-classic songs "Carrying the Banner," "Seize the Day," and "Santa Fe," Newsies Jr. is a wonderful, timeless story full of spirit and heart.
