Happy First Day of School! 📚✏️

Today, backpacks are packed, alarm clocks are set, new schedules are underway, and students are already thinking about classes, tests, projects, homework and those dreaded due dates.

So here’s our suggestion:

Put something FUN on the calendar! 🎭

The Fall programs at the Florida Academy of Performing Arts (FAOPA) are officially ready for registration, and there is SO much to look forward to at Music Showcase!

Whether your performer is just getting started, loves being on stage, wants to build confidence, is ready for a bigger challenge, or dreams of taking the stage competitively, FAOPA has a musical theatre program designed for a wide range of ages and experience levels.

There are programs for young performers, middle and high school students, adults, homeschoolers and students looking for competitive opportunities -including Acting Up Jr., Acting Up!, Showcase Players Jr., Showcase Players, Spotlight! Theatre, Competition Team, F.I.R.E., LEAD, Homeschool Musical Theatre and more.

And then there are the SHOWS. ❤️

This season’s lineup gives our performers some truly exciting stories to bring to life, including:

🎭 Mary Poppins
🎭 Annie Jr.
🎭 Disney’s Newsies
🎭 The Mystery of Edwin Drood
🎭 Finding Neverland
🎭 The Big One-Oh! Jr.

That’s a LOT more exciting than a homework assignment!

The wonderful thing about the FAOPA Musical Theatre programs is that you don’t have to guess which program is the right fit. Visit the Musical Theatre page to explore all of the available programs and then click through to the individual program information. You’ll find important details including ages, class nights, audition or tryout requirements, experience expectations and even performance dates.

So while you’re filling in those school calendars, leave a little room for something magical.

A weekly class.
A new group of friends.
A chance to try something new.
A role to work toward.
A stage to stand on.
A show to look forward to.

Because the school year should be about more than grades and due dates. It’s also about discovering what you love, finding your people, building confidence and making memories you’ll still be talking about long after the school year is over.

The Fall FAOPA season is ready. The stage is waiting. What’s going on your calendar? ❤️🎭
