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 $245 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 friends, and other classes in their session.

Academy Classes

Auditions for the 2022-2023 Academy Classes are now closed.
CharacterWorks Academy classes are year-long, application/audition-only classes that offer more focused curriculum and training for those students ready for the next level. Each summer, students have a chance to apply online and gain acceptance before regular class registration opens. Students will meet for three sessions (fall, winter, spring) with an extended full performance at the CharacterWorks Academy Festival in the spring.
