JR Stage Performance
Sept 7, 2026 – May 17, 2027, $945 per year, Mondays 6:00-8:00 P.M.
The Junior Stage Program builds on the foundation established in JumpStart to complete a theatrical production to include set, props, and costumes, to be showcased at the Annual Spring Festival in May. The year-long program is split into two terms: theory and production. The theory term lays the foundation for basic acting principles, beginner stage management, and script study practices. The production term applies these skills to the rehearsal and performance of a one-act play. This program prepares students for further study in the performing arts, particularly our Junior Devised, Senior Stage, and musical theatre Programs. Through individual and group participation, students will benefit from increased confidence, clarity of speech, thought and emotion, personal and social awareness, and the ability to problem-solve and think creatively.
Note: Junior Stage will perform in our Spring Festival. Students must be available April 24th – May 2nd, 2027 for dress rehearsal and 3 performances.

Students will now combine all music, dance, and acting skills, stage management, script, and character-building skills into a one-act musical theatre production to include set, props, and costumes. This program prepares students for further study in the performing arts, particularly the Intermediate and Mainstage Musical Theatre Programs. Through individual and group participation, students will benefit from increased confidence, clarity of speech, thought, and emotion, personal and social awareness, and the ability to problem-solve and think creatively.

For the young performer who has something to say and longs to create their own show. Devised Theatre is an important facet of theatre creation and one that we are so pleased to offer at CSOPA. This program is designed to foster a collaborative process in which the whole cast, with the support and guidance of their director, develops a show together. The focus is on the creation of story and characters through a series of improvisations and collaborations. This program prepares students for further study in the performing arts, particularly our Intermediate Devised and Musical Theatre programs. The result is a show performed at CSOPA’s Spring Festival that has been built from the ground up by the cast and director, complete with any necessary props, costumes, set, lights, and sound. Come build something wonderful with other creative performers.
Note: Junior Devised will perform in our Spring Festival. You must be available April 23rd – May 2nd, 2027 for dress rehearsal and 3 performances.
