Dare to Dream Jr.

Music House presents Disney’s Dare to Dream Jr! We are proud to celebrate our 75 year anniversary with a multi-disciplinary theatrical production. This exciting production will bring together students from across artistic disciplines to celebrate creativity, collaboration, and the joy of performance.

As artists and educators, we recognize the importance of performing as part of a child’s education. Dare to Dream Jr offers students a unique opportunity to collaborate with fellow performers while developing confidence, storytelling skills, and stage presence in a supportive ensemble-based environment.

About the Production

Dare to Dream Jr is a theatrical musical revue featuring beloved music from Disney films. Rather than following one traditional storyline, this revue weaves together songs from many different movies, some you may not expect to hear side by side! With a loose narrative structure, the emphasis is placed on music, movement, and performance, highlighting themes of dreaming big, believing in yourself, and discovering that together is better.

This production will bring together the following Music House disciplines:

Acting Ensemble

Students who audition and are selected will participate in a focused Scene Work and Musical Theater Class designed to build strong acting and performance skills. Through scripted scenes, students will explore acting fundamentals, character development, expressive storytelling, and confident stage presence.

This class also introduces how scenes connect with music and choreography in a multi-disciplinary production, encouraging students to think beyond dialogue and work as part of a cohesive ensemble. Rehearsals emphasize collaboration, creativity, and growth in a supportive environment.

This class is ideal for students eager to challenge themselves, expand their performance skills , and be part of a collaborative theatrical experience. In this ensemble, students will also learn how to:

  • Explore acting fundamentals through scripted scenes
