While our main focus throughout the year is on training and technique, we offer many opportunities for our students to take the stage and put their skills to the test. There are performance opportunities for students at every age and level. Rehearsal and time commitments are important for ensuring a successful production. See the information below for more details.

* Company members will perform featured roles in both the January musical and the Year End Revue. They will also be required to perform at competitions and at outreach venues.

** ShowTime Performing Class participates in 1 competition in spring as well as the Year End Revue.

In an effort to serve you better and simplify life at Front & Center, we would like to introduce Costume Week. Costumes are required for all students choosing to participate in the Year End Revue. During costume week, invoices will be sent to each student's home. Please fill it out and send it back with payment via fax, mail, or drop off at the front desk. If your child is in multiple classes at the studio, he or she may participate in a separate number for each class and/private lesson. The invoice will guide you in specifying the classes for which the student will be performing. Please respond promptly to insure timely delivery of your child's costume.
