FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Do participants need to have previous musical theatre training?
A: We welcome participants of all experience levels. Our education team will engage each participant with goals for growth wherever they are in their artistic exploration.
Q: Do participants need to attend every day?
A: As part of an ensemble, any missed time leaves your child at a disadvantage. Because our time together is so short, this means that your child misses an opportunity to learn choreography, music or staging and may not be able to be part of a number in the show. Please support their success by making sure that they don’t miss a minute of the program.
Q: Do you offer scholarships?
A: Full and partial scholarships are available. Please indicate your need in the application.
Q: Is lunch provided?
A: Participants are responsible for bringing their own snacks and lunches.
Q: What is your payment and cancellation policy?
A: Once your application is processed you will receive an email from our Education and Community Engagement department with a link to make your payment. Your payment secures your spot for Broadway At Music Circus Kids/Teens. The full amount of tuition can be refunded through June 3, 2024.
