Join our Free Performing Arts Workshop Series
Grades 3 to 5, join us one day a month towards becoming a triple threat! End of year showcase on the CGHS stage!
Our Discover the Stage Workshop Series is completely FREE and is designed to prepare students in grades 3-5 for middle school and high school theater programs while helping them build confidence in acting, singing, dancing, auditions, and performance.
How Registration Works
- The first 15 students to register will receive a guaranteed spot for the entire workshop series.
- Once enrolled, your child will automatically be registered for every workshop throughout the year.
- If your child can’t attend a particular workshop, simply cancel your reservation for that event so another student on the waitlist can participate.
- Because our workshops are intentionally kept small to provide hands-on instruction and individual attention, we do have an attendance policy. If a family fails to cancel within 24 hours more than once, they may lose their reserved spot in future workshops.
