Happy New Year! We hope you had a restful winter break. The faculty has been enjoying time with family and friends, but is excited to get back into the the studio next week. Thank you for a wonderful first semester and a successful Fall Works Program. We appreciate all our students' hard work and the families that came out to support. Second semester revolves heavily around our Spring Showcase in May, but we are also looking forward to our High School Winter Intensive in January and our Open Studio performances in April. Please always reference our website for any updates to the performance season. Thank you! |
