Orbit PLAYhouse Productions is a musical theatre training program for students ages 7-12 with a passion for musical theatre performance. This Fall, Orbit’s PLAYhouse Company will put on a Broadway-style musical revue complete with solos, duets, dance numbers and much more. These young students get to work with instructors that have worked on Broadway and beyond. Our goal is to help shape young people as performers. We believe that instilling kindness and a good work ethic in children, while having a safe space for them to be creative, is the best way to nourish their joy of the arts.
