CWorks Performing Arts Classes

Registration for Fall Classes 2026 will begin online on Wednesday, July 9th at 5pm! Class options will be posted several days before. 

CharacterWorks offers a variety of musical theater inspired classes in 8-week sessions in fall, winter and spring. Classes are a great way for students to gain valuable theater arts training, develop confidence and make life-long friends. If you have questions about classes please email our Registrar, Joy Osborne, at joy@cworkstheater.org.

Class Info

Each class lasts for 1 hour and 45 minutes per week, runs for 8-weeks for a fall, winter and spring session and costs $275 per session. All children ages 6-18 may register for a class in their age group. In the final week of the class session, classes each perform a 10-minute showcase for family and other classes in their session. Students enrolled in classes for ages 8-18 are eligible to audition for the one of the session's main stage shows. 

NOTE: If you're a new CWorks family, we recommend creating a user account before registration begins, because classes and camps fill quickly and creating an account takes a few minutes.
