Rock Academy students performing on stage in full costume

Bringing the Kingdom to the fine arts

That is how our theater program describes itself, and it is not exaggerating: every spring, the whole school puts on a full musical.

A real stage, a real season

The Rock Academy believes in bringing the Kingdom to the fine arts in a powerful way. Students learn all about theater, including the audition process, music training, choreography, and set and prop building, in a positive environment of excellence.

In the Vocal Performance and Theater course, students audition for and put on a full musical production from beginning to end. They develop their characters, build sets and props, memorize lines, and learn the art of a musical.

This year's spring production hits the stage April 23-24, 2027.

Directed by Principal Kaley Hoffman: 13+ years at TRA, more than eleven productions, six of them full musicals.

  • Aladdin Jr.
  • Beauty and the Beast Jr.
  • Willy Wonka Jr.
