These fun and exciting classes for PreK-3rd grade students introduce children to the fundamentals of musical theatre. Students will explore singing, acting and dancing as they prepare for our production each semester. Mini Musical Theatre (MMT) and Beginning Musical Theatre (BMT) will give students a solid foundation, which will prepare them for Production Company classes.
We offer multiple sections of each class, all of which are held at our Main Campus. Please enroll in the section that works best for your schedule.
Students in 3rd grade have the option of enrolling in Beginning Musical Theatre or Junior Production Company.
Mini Musical Theatre (PreK-Kindergarten)
Beginning Musical Theatre (1st-3rd Grade)
Students will perform in Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR. (January 15-17, 2027), as well as Annie JR. (June 11-13, 2027). All who enroll and audition will be cast in the show!

Students enrolled in Mini Musical Theatre, Beginning Musical Theatre or Junior Production Company for Disney’s The Little Mermaid JR. will automatically stay enrolled for Annie JR.

Dance is an integral part of musical theatre, and ArtWorks Academy offers 72 dance classes to support every performer’s growth. We know your time is valuable, so we schedule dance classes before or after Mini Musical Theatre and Beginning Musical Theatre to make it convenient for most students to participate. If you’re tired of driving all over town to fit in all of your child’s activities, we invite you to explore everything we offer in one place. Visit our School of Dance page to view our full dance schedule. Below are lists of classes that pair conveniently with MMT and BMT.
Tuition is $54 per month for Mini Musical Theatre and $65 per month for Beginning Musical Theatre. Students taking more than one class (i.e. Beginning Musical Theatre and a dance class) will receive a discounted rate on additional classes.
In addition to the monthly tuition, there is also a $85.00 Production Fee due each semester, as well as an annual $40 Enrollment Fee. The Production Fee helps cover the cost of theater rental, show royalties, costumes, sets, props, etc.
Toward the end of each semester, students in Mini and Beginning Musical Theatre may be called on a Saturday to rehearse with the entire cast. During the week of the show they will be called for two extended, mandatory rehearsals at the theater.
Students should wear clothes which allow for ease of movement to class. Girls need black or pink ballet shoes and boys can wear black ballet shoes or black jazz shoes.
