Audition Information

This fall, your young performer can step into a vibrant musical production of a nostalgic children’s classic! When the mighty Cannonball Express breaks down with a delivery of toys, dolls, and clowns, the race is on to find a helper to finish the journey and complete the important delivery. It’s a delightful story that mirrors the Good Samaritan and teaches kids powerful lessons about hard work, humility, and the power of never giving up.

This weekly program will dive into the world of theater, choreography, and music, while grounding every session in worship and time in the Word. Performers will also develop vital teamwork, communication, and creative problem-solving skills that will serve them far beyond the stage. By the end of the fall, your performer will:

  • Step on stage with confidence in a delightful musical production.

  • Learn real life lessons through teaching and devotion times.

  • Build lasting friendships with like-minded peers who share their faith.

  • Grow closer to God through worship, storytelling, and discovering how to use their unique gifts for His glory.
