The Program
Grades 4-8
Grades 4-8
The BEST Program accepts students in the 4th through 8th grades at time of audition. The program focuses on acting, singing, and dance training, while rehearsing a full length or junior-version musical production. Professional designers create the scenic, costume, and lighting elements to put students in a real-world production. Three weeks of rehearsing choreography, singing, and acting bring the show to life, with two final performances, open to the public, in the Fogelberg Performing Arts Center at Burlington High School. Through the rehearsal process, students develop valuable performance skills and understand the hard work to bring their characters and the show from script to stage.
The 2021 show will be The Little Mermaid, Jr.
