Classes

Registration for Fall 2026 classes is open!

Journey Theater classes are a great way to introduce young people to different aspects of the theater arts, and help students gain confidence and develop performance skills. Be sure to take some time to review the important registration information below.  We are offering classes at 4 different times this session. A list of classes for each night is at the bottom of this page.

We have transitioned our registration system to CircleUp.  Click here or go to your app and click on the Register icon.  You can filter by age and/or day of the week to see what is available for your student.

A few things to be aware of

  1. “Foundations of…” classes are our CORE CLASSES that serve as prerequisites for continuing on to other classes.
  2. Classes fill quickly, and may fill before this page is updated. Remember to list your second choice class!
  3. If the class you want to take is full, register for your second choice, and email office@journeytheater.org to be placed on the waiting list.
  4. We are offering a number of multi-session classes this year. Stay tuned to read about them before you register in case you want to make a choice based on an upcoming class.
  5. Classes and teachers are subject to change, depending on enrollment and availability.
  6. On the last day of each 8-week session, there is a showcase performance.  Please let your teacher know as soon as possible if your student will not be able to participate in Showcase. In most cases, if a student misses the showcase, the class will not be added to their transcript and will need to be repeated if needed as a prerequisite for another class.
  7. Attendance each week is very important!

  • Sibling/Multiple Registrations Discount: Families who register multiple students, or a student for more than one class, are eligible for a discount of $10 off the second and subsequent registrations for a single session.  If you are registering more than one student, as well as multiple classes for that student, the discounts will not stack.  Each registration will be discounted only once. Note: If one of the classes is a monthly payment class (such as Studio or another multi-session class), the discount will not apply to that class, but to any other classes.  Feel free to contact the office for assistance.
  • All registrations must be paid in full, or payment arrangements confirmed, before a student will be enrolled in a class.  To ensure prompt enrollment, pay online when registering.
  • Students, ages 8-18, enrolled in a class are eligible to audition for a show. There is a $TBA Production Fee for those who are cast in the show (Spring 2026 was $210).  Crew members do not pay a fee. For general information about auditions, click here.

Refund Policy

  • There is a $50.00 service charge for cancellations***, and a prorated amount charged for each class day that has passed up through the second week of class.
  • No refunds will be given after the second week of class.
  • Students who audition for a production are NOT eligible for a refund.

***Service charges and cancellations may be different for multi-session classes. Learn more in the descriptions here.

Registration Requirements and Restrictions

  • Students must be enrolled in classes in order to audition for the session’s production(s).
  • Students must meet age requirements by the last day of the session (December 20, 2026) unless otherwise stated.
  • Classes listed with a * have prerequisites.  Please read the class description for details before registering. If you have a question as to whether you meet the prerequisites for a class you’d like to take, please email the Journey Office (office@journeytheater.org.)

Attendance Requirements

  • Students are expected to attend all classes for the full scheduled class time.
  • Late arrival or early dismissal must be preapproved and are not often allowed, in order to keep class distractions to a minimum.
  • Students may miss up to two class nights during the session.  Please email your coordinator, prior to the missed class, to arrange/excuse an absence.
  • More than two absences may impact Showcase participation as well as eligibility to audition for a show in the next session for which a student is registered.
  • As a theater arts education program, class attendance and showcase participation is vital to class completion.  Therefore, except with prior approval, if a student has more than two absences and/or cannot or does not perform in the showcase the class may not be added to their transcript.   Many of these classes, and all of the Foundations classes, are prerequisites for higher level courses.
