Academy Student Productions

Teen Student Production

PERFORM FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS!

ATMTC Academy Student Productions follow the Maryland Fine Arts Standards providing a challenging outlet for students to develop the skills necessary to be successful, professional performers – including self-discipline, teamwork, problem solving, and self-confidence.

STUDENT PRODUCTION FOR GRADES 8-12

Participation in the final production is a key requirement of this program. Your child will collaborate with accomplished teaching artists to stage a full-scale, 90 minute musical. Through rehearsals focused on singing, dancing, and acting, they’ll gain the skills and confidence to light up the stage! 

Please note that for this program, casting is the sole discretion of the director, and every student will have a moment to shine onstage. 
 
With costumes, props, music, movement, and scene work, this exciting experience culminates in a performance for friends and family.
To keep parents informed, weekly reports will outline whether their child is scheduled to rehearse that week. Please note that not all students will be called every week, and only two excused absences allowed for the duration of the production.
