Musical Theatre Youth Company

Welcome to the Academy Musical Theatre Youth Company program of the Act I Academy.
Our musical theatre company program offers a high level of training in the three fields of musical theatre: Acting, Music and Dance. The program requires three classes a week (within two days), a music class, acting class and a dance class. This program is held by the Grand Theatre here in downtown Cartersville. The acting and music class will be held on the same day in the Grand Theatre's rehearsal space. The dance class will be held here at the Academy. Students in this program will have the opportunity to put on a full length musical production as well as showcases. This program is great for those who want to dive deeper into the educational and training side of musical theatre. Students will also be able to still audition for community theatre productions around town.

Auditions are required to be placed in the company.

Please contact us through email if you are interested in setting up an audition.
The student must be at least 8 years old.
Special discounts available for company members.

 Testimonials

“In the Youth Company, I have seen my daughter grow and develop great friendships. My daughter loves the contemporary classes. As a parent, I love that God is at the center of all. I am so excited to see how the program grows and to grow with it.” Karen K. (Mother)

 “I enjoy the ballet and contemporary classes. I have made great bonds of friendship with other dancers. I love learning the choreography for the productions that take place at the studio. I love the teachers. I also like the devotions that take place weekly because I can better understand Bible verses and learn about different characters of the Bible.” Kylie C. (Dancer age 11)

“Often our society calls upon us to set our faith aside in the name of sport or entertainment. However, my family doesn't compartmentalize our faith; Christ is center-stage in all we do and finding a place where my daughter can cultivate her passion for ballet without having to compromise her faith is a blessing and not something easily replaced. Our family moved away from Cartersville for a couple years and this ballet company was a huge factor in our decision to move back. We're at home in Act I and plan to go as far with this company as we can.” Holley H. (Mother)

"I don't know much about dance, but I love how happy my daughter is when she gets in the car after class. As a busy parent, I appreciate the website, specifically the dashboard which allows me to keep up with all my daughter's classes. I can also pay her tuition and register for classes. The faith-based curriculum also means I never have to worry about any inappropriate music, costumes, or dances. The staff is also great about letting you know about the appropriate classes for your child's ability and interest. Chrissy is also great about bringing in other instructors for special events and classes to expose the dancers to a variety of choreography and teaching styles. We have been very pleased with our experience in their first year as a studio, and we know the program will continue to grow and strengthen in the years to come." Lacy M. (Mother)
