*Audition Required* Sr. Leads
Actors in the Sr. Leads class will train to become true triple threats as they step into the spotlight as Buddy, Jovie, Walter Hobbs & even Santa himself. Over the course of 10 weeks, they’ll strengthen their acting, vocal, and dance skills while bringing this heartwarming holiday tale to life. Through character work, choreography, and scene blocking, they’ll grow as performers, build confidence, and form meaningful connections—all while spreading festive cheer on stage.
