Mary Poppins Audition Workshop
Friday, May 29th 6:00-8:00PM
Price: $65
Our Mary Poppins Audition Workshop is designed to help performers walk into auditions feeling confident, prepared, and inspired!The workshop is split into two parts:
• Dance Portion
Work directly with our choreographer to learn the actual audition dance combination that will be taught at auditions. Performers will gain insight into movement style, performance quality, and what the creative team is looking for in the room.• Vocal & Acting Portion
Led by our director/music team, this portion focuses on character clarity, script analysis, and audition preparation. Performers will explore acting sides, break down the world and characters of Mary Poppins, receive guidance on what to prepare vocally, and participate in a Q&A to better understand the audition process and expectations. -

Summer classes are officially LIVE for registration
This summer, we’re offering TWO flexible 3-week sessions, making it easy for families to work around vacations, camps, and summer schedules while still staying consistent in training. Choose one session or join us for both!
Our summer classes are designed to keep performers growing in acting, singing, and dance in a fun, encouraging, and high-energy environment — without the pressure of a full season commitment. It’s the perfect way to build skills, try something new, stay connected with friends, and keep momentum going all summer long!

📣 Studio News & Spotlights
As this season begins to come to a close, I’ve found myself reflecting on how grateful I am for each family who walked through our doors this year.
Truly, thank you.
Project Performer is so much more than classes, rehearsals, or performances to me. It’s something I’ve poured my heart into building, and every child and family who chooses to be here becomes part of that story. I don’t take your trust lightly.
I know you are trusting us with precious pieces of your child’s life. Their confidence. Their creativity. Their emotions. Their friendships. Their growth. That is a huge responsibility, and one I think about often.
There have been so many moments this season that have stayed with me — watching a shy performer slowly begin to speak up, seeing kids encourage one another in the classroom and backstage, witnessing students discover confidence they didn’t know they had, or seeing the pure joy on their faces when they accomplish something that once felt impossible. Those moments matter deeply to me.
I hope your family has felt how invested we are in your children here. Not just in helping them become stronger performers, but in helping them feel seen, supported, challenged, and believed in. Every correction, conversation, rehearsal, and opportunity comes from a place of wanting them to grow into the very best version of themselves.
Thank you for the rides to rehearsals, the schedule juggling, the cheering from the audience, the encouraging talks at home, and for allowing us to be part of your child’s journey this season.
I genuinely hope we get the privilege of continuing that journey with your family next year. It would mean so much to all of us.
With love and gratitude,
Kayla Schaffroth
Owner & Director, Project Performer
