NAS Theatre Company
is a brand new company with our very own studio in Daphne! We focus on a complete training of the arts as opposed to only performing shows. We are currently working on our fall schedule which will include a variety of classes for all age groups, including daytime classes for homeschooled and virtual school students. I am the owner and Director of Music, and as a homeschooling mom of 4 boys, with eight years of homeschooling under my belt, I know how fantastic it is to find daytime classes! For our shows, we have a younger age group and an older age group. The younger group rehearses on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4:30 to 6:30. The older group rehearses Mondays and Wednesdays from 4:30 to 6:30. Our younger group is currently working on Shrek the musical Jr. which will be performed August 30-September 2. Our older age group is currently working on our production of Les Miserables which will be this November. Follow along on Facebook to stay up-to-date on our upcoming fall schedule! And feel free to reach out to me with any questions!
