Teen Nation

When your student enters high school, many of them will want to be in the seasonal plays and musicals. Often, upper-class students receive leading roles because they have seniority and familiarity with a program. Additionally, have confidence, and technical skills. We want to help your teen be prepared to CRUSH their first impression in high school. Make sure your artist is the BEST prepared student. As a critically acclaimed professional theatre, Aurora ensures that every child is learning the skills needed to SOAR in high school, while learning leadership skills, kindness, confidence, and most of all, Aurora promises your student will have FUN!
