Playhouse Singers: A Musical Theater Community Choir  | 

Ages 18+

Our beloved Playhouse Singers program is back! Vocalists ages 18+ will explore the joy of showtunes, learn harmony and ensemble singing techniques, and develop confidence in their voices. This choir experience builds community and collective effervescence, culminating in a lively concert for family and friends. Whether new or returning, all singers are welcome to join in the fun! 

If you want a more challenging, fast-paced class, choose the Advanced class. If you’re new to reading music and singing in harmony, choose Beginner. If you don’t care, pick whatever is best for you and feel free to switch after the first class.

PLEASE NOTE: We have a limited number of partial scholarships offered on a rolling basis. If you are interested in a scholarship, please apply using the link below.
