Showtime Musical Series!

Level up your triple-threat skills with professional training — and shine in a full-scale production on the iconic bergenPAC MainStage!
Whether you're just starting out or ready for your next big role, we’ve got something for every age:
🎭 Kids Series (Ages 6–9)
🎭 Junior Series (Ages 9–14)
🎭 High School Series (Ages 14+)

Performers start by learning the basics of dance, acting, singing, and audition techniques to prepare to audition in mid-fall for their roles in that year's production. After being cast, students participate in weekly rehearsals while honing their acting, singing, and dance skills.

Students explore all aspects of theater production, including performance, props, costumes, make-up, and design. This experience helps build self-confidence, improve literacy, nurture empathy, encourage imagination, teamwork, critical thinking, self-discipline, and community awareness. 

Additionally, students enjoy a unique opportunity to collaborate with bergenPAC’s professional technical crew, providing an invaluable experience to work alongside industry experts and deepening their understanding of the theatrical arts.

Showtime welcomes students of all skill levels and serves as an outstanding launching pad for those aspiring to pursue a professional performance career.

Not a singer? No problem!
Our bergenPAC Players Series is perfect for students who want to act without the music. Join us this fall and spring for powerful straight plays performed in our intimate black box studio at the Performing Arts School.

No child interested in participating will be turned away. Financial aid scholarships are available.
