Studio 3 is dedicated to providing a quality well-rounded performing arts education for youth of all ages. We strongly believe that each performer is unique and brings his/her own qualities that contribute to the strength of the team. As students move higher in our auditioned programs, individual recommendations and scheduling are made to develop each student’s strengths and allow them to build confidence and skills in areas they wish to improve. By taking interest in each student’s goals and aspirations, we are able to build a customized program of study to help each individual reach those goals.

At Studio 3, we hold modesty to a high standard, so families can be assured that all performances are free from questionable movement, costumes, and music. We also believe in a quality end product that makes all performers and families proud. We strive to produce professional quality recitals and performances that highlight everything the students are learning throughout the year, and make them feel like they are on the Broadway stage

The Studio 3 Musical Theater & Pop Ensemble, “Showstoppers” is designed for the student who wishes to focus more on their performing arts training and gain more performing experience in the community. It is an audition only program, which requires having previous experience in the performing arts. The Studio 3 Showstoppers train in singing, dancing, and acting, to be true triple threat performers, and work at a faster pace than the typical musical theater class.

They perform their high energy shows all over the Valley for community festivals, grand openings, fundraisers, retirement communities, and other events. Many of our students have also had the opportunity to tour worldwide, performing in California, Hawaii, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Washington DC, New York, and most recently, China.

Studio 3 Showstoppers specialize in themed musical revue performances, but also provide entertainment for holiday caroling, and the national anthem.

ê Only need to purchase 1 costume!

The Applause program is our introductory musical theater program for ages 3-16 where students come once a week for 1 or 1.5 hours and learn an entire show, which involves song and dance numbers and speaking parts to give students the real Broadway musical experience! In addition to learning material for the show, students are introduced to basic drama, voice, dance, and microphone techniques. Applause students perform out in the community at the end of the semester several times (3-4 on average), giving them a chance to not only polish the material, but develop their stage presence and performance skills. They purchase only 1 costume that is inexpensive and simple that they wear for all numbers. This cuts down on costuming expenses since each child is typically in 4-6 numbers each show. This costume is also reusable in future semesters for students who stay with the program in the future. Although it is not required, many of our Applause students also take additional classes in dance, drama, or voice to augment this training.
