Musical Theatre Program Auditions

Palm Beach Children's Chorus is excited to announce our Fall 2022-Spring 2023 children's theatre production season! Once again we will be partnering with the South Florida Society for Arts and Culture to present a full scale musical theatre production. We are currently in the process of selecting the Fall and Spring Productions. The announcements about Fall and Spring productions will be made on September 20, 2022. In addition to our musical theatre production classes, we also offer classes in theatre, music discovery, chorus, voice, and audition prep. The full class schedule will be available on or before September 20, 2022.

Audition: Who? What? When?
We will be  holding auditions for children ages 7-18 who love to sing, act, and dance and have a flair for performing! Youth ages 10-18 have the incredible opportunity to learn from a dedicated team of professional instructors. Children and youth are given instruction in the theatrical and performing arts in a structured group environment with access to performances on a professional stage. Each production will have a set rehearsal schedule and an end of the season, stage performance that will be recorded and streamed on the internet and performed before a live audience.
