4 KIDS
"Helping kids reach a new stage" means more to us at The Arts Center than just providing performances for students to attend. From Summer Youth Conservatory to our School Matinee Program, we are commited to helping kids of all ages experience the arts through a hands on approach.
In Summer Youth Conservatory students learn the basics of acting, stage movement and voice and have an opportunity to be part of the creation of a show that is performed at the end of each session.
In the School Matinee program students may audition for roles in shows as well as volunteer to work backstage. Every effort is made to cooperate with teachers and school administrators to make it possible for students to perform in shows during school hours.
A number of students annually perform on stage as well as work as technicians and backstage crew in many of our main stage show as well as our newest program addition Summer Youth Musical.

Sibling rivalry has never been so much fun. Well, two-year-old Fudge is having fun, and so is the audience. But big brother Peter has had enough. When Fudge isn't trhowing tantrums or scribbling on Peter's homework, he's eating flowers. But when Peter's turtle ends up in Fudge's tummy, it's time for drastic measures.

Summer Youth Musicals
We kicked off this exciting program in 2007 with the blockbuster "High School Musical" and we haven't slowed down yet. Our commitment to providing a summer outlet for High School students to cut loose continued with the smash hits "Footloose" and
"West Side Story". Last year we brought down the house with two blockbusters: High School Musical II and 13 the Musical.

This year we are so excited to finally be able to bring out the smash-hit that everyone's been asking for:
This international smash-hit musical is piled bouffant-high with laughter and romance-and enough deliriously tuneful songs to fill a nonstop platter party. It's HAIRSPRAY, live on stage, in living color!
