Raise the Curtain!

Step into the spotlight at The Rose! No matter what your

interests, your young performer can find their place in the

spotlight with two outstanding programs designed to encourage

a love of performing.

The Rose offers two paths of theater education for children ages

3-18. Whether your child chooses DRAMA at The Rose or

BROADWAY at The Rose, you can be assured that your young

artist will learn and grow while having the best time of their lives.

Whether your child is taking their first steps on the stage or

has already landed a leading role, the performing arts classes at

The Rose will provide your child with theatrical opportunities unlike

any other ‒ all while having a whole lot of fun. Your child will be

learning from some of the best educators in the region. Rose

teachers include professional actors, accomplished dancers,

award-winning playwrights, highly-decorated directors, renowned

choreographers and more ‒ and if you look closely, you will see

those teachers on stage in your favorite main stage show!

Both departments provide students with professional instruction

by many of the same actors you see on stage! Classes

encourage creativity and imagination, while enriching the

understanding and enjoyment of theater. Many classes offer

performance opportunities and all classes promote ensemble

work and skill development.

So get started today and raise the curtain on your child’s talent!

Raise the Curtain!

DRAMA at THE ROSE

classes promote creativity and provide

students with an environment to explore their talent and imagination.

In our classes, you can expect to use your body to tell a story, learn

new ways to use your voice, stretch your imagination and have a

lot of fun while doing it. The focus of DRAMA at THE ROSE classes

is the process of creating theater. While students will share what

they’ve learned at the end of the session, the emphasis is on the

week-to-week progress rather than on a final performance. This

gives students a strong foundation in the theater while gaining an

appreciation for the arts that will enrich their lives.

Dandy Dan’s gang has gotten the upper hand since stealing the “splurge” gun (a weapon that shoots whipped cream). Now Fat Sam and his bumbling buffoons are in real trouble! Bugsy Malone, a one-time boxer, is thrust into the gangster limelight when all he really wants to do is spend time with his new love, Blousey; but that just isn’t in the cards for our hero.
