ABOUT ACT TOO SELECT

​Act Too Select was largely created as a way to provide additional opportunities for our students who are more advanced in their abilities. It is our hope that by offering shows that have a smaller cast size that we will be able to provide a more focused time with character, actor, and vocal development.

 

We will also be bringing in area professionals to aid in the execution and instruction of this class. This class is structured to provide a more intense learning experience that will hopefully provide students a extra edge when it comes to Governor's School auditions, college placements, or high school productions. It is our goal to actively challenge and nurture these actors and hone their abilities to be competitive in this field.



This class is still subject to our monthly tuition rate.

About SIX: Teen Edition

SIX: TEEN EDITION is a full-length adaptation of Toby Marlow and Lucy Moss’ international phenomenon SIX, modified for performance by teen actors for family audiences.

​

Divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. From Tudor Queens to Pop Icons, the SIX wives of Henry VIII take the mic to remix five hundred years of historical heartbreak into a Euphoric Celebration of 21st-century girl power! This new original musical is the global sensation that everyone is losing their head over.

​

The New York Times says SIX is “pure entertainment!” and the Evening Standard hails SIX as “the most uplifting new British musical I have ever had the privilege to watch.”

​

At its heart, SIX is about celebrating the talent and individuality of the women and non-binary people onstage. The Queens should therefore be played by cis women, trans women, trans people and people who exist beyond the gender binary in any capacity, who feel on a personal level that this is their story to tell. Cast can be expanded to include backup singers and dancers of all gender identities.

​

SIX: TEEN EDITION includes all songs from the original version, with reimagined lines and lyrics to minimize suggestive language and alternate line changes to reframe UK references for a US audience. SIX: TEEN EDITION includes an optional SATB chorus, opening the door for expandable casting for backup singers and dancers of all gender identities. The historical context of SIX: TEEN EDITION also provides the opportunity for an educational component.
