If your child has a flair for the dramatic, or just can’t stop dancing and singing around the house, direct that energy to the stage! Here are some local kid’s theatre and dance companies that get your kid engaged, active and performing.

Fantasy Playhouse Children’s Theatre

Fantasy Playhouse Children’s Theatre offers academy classes for ages 3 to adult, including creative drama, acting, musical theatre, dance, technical theatre, performances showcases and theme classes. Fall Class registration is currently open! Fantasy Playhouse also operates as a community theatre, producing four shows a season, with open auditions to the public.

Theatre Huntsville

Theatre Huntsville not only hosts open auditions for their plays, but also offers opportunities to volunteers in technical design, backstage crew and performance ushers.

Independent Musical Productions
