CWorks Performing Arts Classes

Winter class registration opens on Friday, 11/1 @ 5PM. 

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, email Class Director Joy Osborne at joy@cworkstheater.org.

Class Info & Schedule

Each class lasts for 1 hour and 45 minutes per week, runs for 8-weeks for a fall, winter and spring session, and costs $250 per session. All children ages 6-18 (by the last day of class) 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.
