Hello Families!

We had a FANTASTIC first day of ShowBiz Kidz today! ​

In order to provide your child with ample opportunities for practice, we have created group folders that contain all necessary lyric pages and scenes.  Teachers will also upload rehearsal videos to these folders to aid at-home practice. 


As a reminder, each child should bring their physical group folder daily. 


This information will also be available on our ShowBiz Kidz page on our website for easy reference.

Hello Families,

If you have a student enrolled in SBK this summer and they are 12 years old or older, you may opt to complete a signed Permission to Leave Grounds form.  This form allows us to dismiss teens without a parent present at the front door. So whether they are meeting you in the parking lot, walking to their next destination, heading off with a carpool, or driving off on their own, this tells us that you give us permission to dismiss without a parent present.

Grab your copy here and return to the front desk by Friday, June 20th or email it to the below link. 

For those carpooling children or teens of any age, please feel free to email us the names included in the carpool and the parents participating so it makes dismissals easier and more efficient: email us here. 

​TADA Staff

Welcome to the Woodland Opera House’s Education Program Annual Summer Camp, Show Biz Kidz!  This camp has been designed to be appropriate for the beginner through the intermediate actor, singer, dancer with the goal to make each student feel comfortable and relaxed so that they may enjoy the experience.

Drop-Off: Is at the back of the building. Please note that that is technically city property! You are not allowed to park in any parking spot nor stop for any length of time. If you suspect needing to wait with your child, please park in the lot adjacent to College Street and walk around. Otherwise, we may lose this privilege with the city. 

Pick-up: Is at the front of the building. We will excuse children once their parent/guardian is present. Please be timely with pick-ups as we have a very short break between sessions! Any student 12 and over is able to have a family member sign a PERMISSION TO LEAVE GROUNDS form.  It is attached to this email.  Please return a signed copy on the first day of classes. Only those with a signed PERMISSION TO LEAVE GROUNDS form will be allowed to leave without a parent/guardian present. There is a $1/minute charge for picking up children after a 10-minute grace period. 

What to bring:  A water bottle. (Please label water bottles with your name.)  A nutritious snack. No gum or toys are permitted. When we start rehearsals in the theatre, please note that only water is permitted.

What to wear to class: Comfortable clothes that allow free movement and dance shoes or flexible soled canvas sneakers. No jeans, flip-flops or sandals. Reminder notes may go home with your child if they do not arrive dressed safely or appropriately for their classes/rehearsals.

Group assignments are determined strictly by birthdate and cannot be changed. We understand that being in a different group from a friend can be disappointing, but our age-based grouping ensures that activities and instruction are developmentally appropriate and balanced for all students. Thank you for understanding and helping us maintain consistency for everyone involved.

Note: Parents are asked not to stay and watch as it can be a distraction for the children.  Students are not allowed to bring friends to class.

Costumes:  The opera house will supply the cast with a Show Biz Kidz Performance T-shirt. You will need to provide solid black pants, long black socks, and black jazz or black ballet shoes for the performances.
A detailed costume sheet will be sent at the end of the 2nd week of classes.  

Performances: Friday, July 11th at 7 pm, Saturday, the 12th and Sunday, the 13th at 2 pm.
Actors will arrive 45  minutes before show time. All performances are mandatory.

Attendance: Consistent attendance is critical for success in the program. Absences will affect the student’s ability to perform any song learned on that day.  Teachers will decide if a child will be dropped from performing a song due to absences or behavior.  
​
Tickets: We will have a pre-sale beginning on Tuesday, June 24th, 2025 for all ShowBiz Kidz families. More information will be released soon.

We look forward to seeing you on June 16th.
