Broadway Stars was created by a professional performer turned child development specialist with the primary goal of helping children develop the foundational skills and technique every musical theater performer needs while giving them the opportunity to find their voice, build confidence, and do what every budding Broadway Star loves most: PERFORM! Classes are taught by a team of professional teaching artists with years of experience both in the classroom and on professional stages and feature a customized curriculum designed to challenge and showcase the strengths of each young performer. *NEW FOR 2027 - Students in Grades K-2 will have their own shows separate from students in our Grades 2-5 Casts.

WHAT TO EXPECT: – Weeks 1-2 (Jan 11 - Jan 23): Setting the Stage — Families who are new to Stages are invited to join us for a FREE TRIAL the week of January 11-16, 2027. Email info@stageschicago.com to set up a trial class! The first two weeks of the semester will focus on learning and perfecting the foundational musical theater skills every Broadway Star needs when performing on stage. Classes will participate in acting games and begin to learn music and choreography for their auditions. These first two weeks of the semester also allow our teachers to get to know students and start to determine which scenes, songs, and roles will be the best fit for each child. – Weeks 3-4 (Jan 25 - Feb 6): I Hope I Get It! -- During weeks 3-4 of the semester, students will participate in a personalized audition process. Auditions at Stages are designed to be a low stress, fun experience where Broadway Stars get to show off what they’ve been learning the first few weeks of the semester and tell us what they are most excited to do in the show. At this age, every audition will look different as every child is different. Students will be encouraged to sing by themselves but will be allowed to sing with a friend or in a small group if they are not ready to do it on their own. Sheet music and sides (small sections of the script used during auditions) will also be shared so you can practice at home with your child if they would like. More information regarding auditions will be included in your welcome packet at the start of the semester! HOW DOES CASTING WORK? Each class will perform specific scenes and songs from our musical, not the entire musical. Classes will come together for the final performance to perform the show in its entirety. EVERY CHILD WILL BE GIVEN A ROLE OR SPECIAL PART IN THE SHOW. We will work together with participants to make sure they have a speaking line, solo, duet, etc. that they are excited to perform! – Weeks 5-13 (Feb 8 - Apr 16): Putting It Together -- During Weeks 5-12, children will begin putting together their show! Each week, classes will work on their assigned scenes and songs. During these classes, we will focus on learning and rehearsing musical numbers and choreography, blocking acting scenes, and introducing various theatrical elements that will be used in our show such as sets, props, and costumes. Don’t worry, it’s not all work. Classes will also have the opportunity to play theater games designed to introduce new performance skills and brush up on concepts we’ve learned in previous classes. --Weeks 13-17 (April 19 - May 15): Prepping for Opening Night-- Classes will begin running doing “Run Thrus” where they perform all of their scenes and songs from start to finish. We’ll also start adding in transitions so performers know when and how to enter/exit the stage or pick up a prop from the prop table.
