Rep Company Members will have access to one-on-one mentorship with a Spark professional. Mentors are assigned based on each individual students’ goals for the year! The Company meets once a month on, typically on Tuesdays from 5:30-7:00pm for mentor check-ins and workshops in various areas of performance. In addition, the company attends local and regional performances and hosts community-building events.
This year, we are thrilled to introduce a new focus to Rep Company beyond our usual community-building activities. Rep Company will help students prepare for auditions, applications, and adjudicated events such as ThesCon, College Auditions, School Auditions, and more. Students will work closely with their mentors to choose materials, receive personalized feedback, rehearse, and build confidence. Additionally, our meetings will include outings and workshops that enhance this learning giving students tools, materials and confidence to achieve their performance goals! We can not confirm this, but we are working to take students to Colorado ThesCon in December and host a Rep Company Trip to NYC at the end of May!
Spark Programs are recommended for students with some previous theater experience and who are 10+ years of age. For newer students or those ages 5-9 years, we recommend our collaborating company; Boulder Performing Arts Company! We are excited to partner with them again in Spring 2025 to feature their students in Cinderella. Don't wait until then to get your training started though, check out their fall and winter classes today!

Carrie White is a teenage outcast who longs to fit in. At school, she’s bullied by the popular crowd, and virtually invisible to everyone else. At home, she’s dominated by her loving but cruelly controlling mother. What none of them know is that Carrie’s just discovered she’s got a special power, and if pushed too far, she’s not afraid to use it. -- Open to all acting levels but performers must be comfortable with the show content and be comfortable with a fast moving rehearsal process. Recommended for students 13+.

An eclectic group of six mid-pubescents vie for the spelling championship of a lifetime. While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming "ding" of the bell that signals a spelling mistake. Six spellers enter; one speller leaves a champion! At least the losers get a juice box. -- Intermediate/Advanced Performers. This is a limited cast with no ensemble. All actors regardless of age must audition and not everyone will be cast.

In Eurydice, Sarah Ruhl reimagines the classic myth of Orpheus through the eyes of its heroine. Dying too young on her wedding day, Eurydice must journey to the underworld, where she reunites with her father and struggles to remember her lost love. With contemporary characters, ingenious plot twists, and breathtaking visual effects, the play is a fresh look at a timeless love story. -- Open to all levels. This is a straight play, not a musical; which provides a great opportunity for students to focus on acting technique.

The timeless enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance. Originally presented on television in 1957 starring Julie Andrews, Rodgers & Hammerstein's Cinderella was the most widely viewed program in the history of the medium. Its recreation in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren was no less successful in transporting a new generation to the miraculous kingdom of dreams-come-true, and so was a second remake in 1997, which starred Brandy as Cinderella and Whitney Houston as her Fairy Godmother. As adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a touch of hilarity, this romantic fairy tale still warms the hearts of children and adults alike. -- Open to all levels! This production will have a large ensemble, offering opportunities for students at all levels to shine & grow.
