Welcome to Performance Prep Week!
GENERAL INFO
MISSION
We are looking forward to an amazing performance season with our Arts Fam. We love seeing our students shine on stage by using their gifts to glorify God and showcase their hard work.
Performing is a vital part to the arts. It is beautiful to see the confidence it builds in our students as they perform in front of an audience and create bonds with their friends.
Performances come with lots of excitement! With many moving parts of a production, it takes a number of volunteers, preparation, and communication for things to run smoothly.
Our goal is to keep our communication as stream-lined as possible during this time. Please refer to this webpage for guidance.

"The Gift"
Auditions for our original musical "The Gift" will be January 20, 2025 at Reclaiming Arts!
What is "The Gift" about?
Join siblings Miriam and Eli on their journey to Bethsaida, where unexpected challenges and remarkable encounters lead them to life-changing truths. Along the way, they meet people with incredible stories about a man named Jesus. While Miriam wrestles with doubt, Eli finds faith, offering their humble five loaves and two fish—unleashing a miracle that changes everything! The Gift is a heartwarming children’s musical about faith, provision, and the truth that Jesus is the Messiah.
