Little Express theatre program is a wonderful opportunity for our youngest performers, aged 3.5 to 6.5 years old, to dive into the enchanting world of musical theatre. Within this program, children will have the chance to learn songs and dances, preparing them to showcase their talents live on stage. Not only will they get the thrill of performing as a group, but they will also have the possibility of taking on solo parts, fostering individual confidence and stage presence.

This program isn’t solely about the final performance; it also emphasizes the importance of teamwork and collaboration. Through rehearsals and group activities, children will learn firsthand what it means to be a part of a team and the value of working together towards a common goal. Little Express theatre program provides a supportive and encouraging environment for these young performers to explore their creativity, build their skills, and most importantly, have a lot of fun in the process.
