The Adult Drama Program (ADP) is open to men and women 18 and older. If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping onstage, this is the academy for you.
A No‑Pressure, Social, and Supportive Experience
The ADP is built on a philosophy of zero pressure, genuine social connection, and fun, friend‑making creativity. It’s designed for adults who have a quiet passion for theatre but have been too shy, too nervous, or too busy to try it until now.
If you’ve always wanted to be on stage but never quite found the courage, you are not alone. This program is filled with adults who have wished for exactly this kind of opportunity. Our cast members are not professionals—most have little to no experience—and that’s exactly who the program is for.
Rehearsals at Your Pace
Rehearsals are conducted through a hands‑on, collaborative approach. As the cast and direction take shape, production dates are scheduled with a long, comfortable timeframe in mind. You’ll work directly with the director, and rehearsals move at a pace that supports the entire cast.
Enrollment Details
If you’re interested, we encourage you to sign up today. To be considered for the cast, please enroll by July 6th.
There is a $50 Participation Program fee, which helps offset printing and royalty expenses.

If you’ve been waiting for the right moment to finally try theatre, this is it. We’d love to welcome you into the cast.
