AIMS is a community theatre class open and available to all participants ages 13 – 22 years old. In rehearsals, participants learn the skills of writing and rehearsing a musical. AIMS class is continued throughout tech week, where participants learn how to perform in a real theater space with real lighting, live music, and sound cues. AIMS class concludes with performances, in which participants learn how to perform in front of an audience.

AIMS runs 10:30am-12:00pm, every Sunday, October through May (excluding school holidays)
