NTS PERFORMING COMPANY (PC) / By Audition / Invitation Only
(Ages 10 - Middle School)
NTS PC is designed as a pre-professional training program with performance opportunities that reach beyond our semester productions. The PC is a year round commitment that begins in August and runs through May and is geared toward our most advanced and committed students.
PC Students will learn a 20 minute variety show that will be performed at different events around town including, TPAC’s Family Day, MBA’s Endada Festival and other community events. In addition to doing the Spring Academy Division Musical, the PC also performs at the Belle Meade Holiday Parade and other holiday events. We are working to add new events to our performing schedule for next season. PC & HSA students are eligible to travel and perform to both Jr Theatre Festival in Atlanta and on our NYC Summer Study Trip.
We will also be adding more to the training component with the PC, adding Master Classes in all areas of dance, voice and acting with some on camera and self tape training.
Students must meet the weekly Ballet or comparable technique class requirement and will attend a Tuesday or Thursday night dance class at NTS. There is an approved list of technique classes that can fulfill your technique requirements, please reach out to Ms. Vanessa for approval.
Private Voice is a nice addition, but NOT a requirement.
As the PC has grown, the age range of the students has grown as well, in response to that, we will have 2 Performing Companies that will work both together and separately and 2 levels of the Sunday ballet classes next year. These companies will be based on your audition and level placement.
AUDITION: We will hold auditions for PC on Sunday. May 18th, 2025 from 12:30-4:30PM at NTS. Students will make an appointment and bring in one minute of a standard Broadway showtune and sing with an accompanist. Students should bring in sheet music, marked and in the correct key.
Both new and returning company members need to audition, this is part of the training component.
