Sign Up Your Star to Perform In Mean Girls Jr.
Welcome to Astarz Studio!
At A'Starz Studio we turn classes into performances and everyone gets a role or two!
This summer A'Starz Studio is hosting our first "Summer Stock Camp".
What happens in a Summer Stock Camp? Thespians audition and are assigned a role prior to camp.
The biggest challenge is showing up off-book (all lines memorized). When campers arrive, they are met with the challenge of learning all songs, blocking, and choreography for two weeks straight to build chemistry for an awesome show!
This year we are excited to present Mean Girls Jr. as our "Summer Stock" Production!
