Join us on a delightful adventure as “Number Crunchers” accounting firm hosts its annual “take your child to work day”! Boredom turns to excitement as the kids decide to explore, stumbling upon a secret room full of wonder. In this enchanting world, they discover that being an adult doesn’t have to be dull – it’s a realm of endless possibilities and fun! Featuring beloved tunes like “When I Grow Up” from Matilda, the sweet “Candyman” from Willy Wonka, the uplifting “I’ve Got a Dream” from Tangled, and the joyous “I’m a Believer” from Shrek. Join us on a magical journey where kids unlock the secrets to making adulthood an extraordinary adventure!
Acting! Singing! Dancing!...It takes all three to become a “Triple Threat”! In this JUNIOR showcase program participants will be introduced to the three main performance skills of acting, singing, and movement. While fine tuning these skills, they will work toward a final showcase presented at the program's end for family and friends.
