🎭 Important Announcement 🎭

Some of you have been wondering why we haven’t announced our fall show yet and we’re here to answer that. Miss Stacee, who founded TCA in 2013, has led us through an incredible 10 year journey. TCA has grown from 20 kids to over 150 each season. TCA has been driven by the passion and dedication of everyone involved, despite it not being our full time job.

Miss Stacee is deeply immersed in her pursuit of her doctoral degree, teaching four university classes, working, and directing at CBU, all while raising her two boys with Mr. Chris.

Because of this, we have decided to take a sabbatical (an extended break to rest and refresh), meaning we will be back! Her commitment to education and nurturing young talent is unwavering, but it’s time for us to take a breather and regain some momentum.

🎭 We encourage you to audition for other local theatres and we plan to do some smaller workshops or showcases as well. Thank you for adapting with us as we change and grow. We love and appreciate every one of you have graced our stages!

☀️ Summer camp is still on BUT it is SOLD OUT! ☀️

❤️Stay creative and we will see you soon!❤️

Happy Closing to our wonderful Elf Jr. Cast! We have had a blast and can’t wait for our final day of shows!

🎄 Such a fun first rehearsal for our Elf Jr. Cast! One of our biggest casts ever, we are so excited!

6 shows. 4 days. ✈️🍎🎭
3 days of Broadway Teaching Workshops.
I’m exhausted but full of ideas and inspiration! We start Elf Jr. this weekend and I can NOT wait!

🎭 Favorite show order is as follows, for those who are interested: 🎭
1. Some Like It Hot. Had no idea what this would be. There was so much tap, even a chase scene WITH tap! And a beautiful story.
2. Sweeney Todd. Amazing, my seats were terrible but the formations made by the choreographer were incredible.
3. Shucked. So fun and charming. Absolutely hilarious.
4. Kimberly AKimbo. Not my favorite. But it won the Tony, so it’s up here.
5. Life of Pi. Amazing technical aspects. Rough dialogue. It closed yesterday.
6. Six. Don’t come for me. Glad I saw it but not my style!

Our production of Elf Jr. is at CAPACITY! Sold out?! - join our waitlist for your chance to snag a spot! 🤩 Actors drop for various reasons; there is a definite possibility you can still be part of our show even on the WaitList! We are so excited to get started!

After an amazing week of camp we are so excited to begin prepping for our next show, Elf Jr! Ages 7 and up. Enrollment based (meaning auditions are a formality, not a requirement). This show is so fun and heart warming! We can’t wait to get started in just a little over a month!

What a wonderful week of camp we just wrapped up?! We hope you had a blast. It’s just a little over a month before rehearsals start for Elf Jr. We hope you’ll join us! Enrollment is open now, on our website!

Our summer camp may be full, but our fall production registration is NOW OPEN! First rehearsal is Saturday, July 29th. On vacation? That's okay! Just let us know, we are happy to work around conflicts! Remember, this production is not audition based, meaning you will be accepted (until we reach enrollment capacity). There will still be auditions a few weeks into rehearsals, BUT you will get a role!

TCA Summer camp is SOLD OUT - it's gonna be epic! Let's make some awesome memories and have the best summer ever 🔥 We have a waiting list on our website and spots may open up as we get closer! There is still room in our 10 year celebration and our Fall Production of Elf Jr!

I had the most wonderful time directing production of Cinderella. So many TCA kids joined the cast and we met so many wonderful new actors. It was a great weekend full of 3 wonderful shows! Thank you to everyone who came and supported us!

A week of shows for TCA! Cinderella at CBU and Fame at Ramona! So proud of our talented friends and students!

TCA took first overall for our group number and placed in 5 out of our 7 routines! We hit platinum or high gold in every routine. We did comp for fun, but I am so proud of their talent and heart. It is so rewarding that judges who don’t know TCA see and recognize the same talent that I see. Next year we’re going even bigger!
