Welcome to the cyber home of the Next Generation Kids!

Next Generation Kids is beginning it's 13th year of training up the next generation
of performers! Our training in singing, dancing, acting & piano has prepared
students for productions on a local and national level. Our students have earned
honors at thespian competitions, played leads in area and school performances, and
done recording sessions for national TV shows. We've even had 3 students go on the
Broadway National Tour of Annie, including long time NGK student Tianna Stevens
who is playing the role of Annie this year! Many of our NGK alumni have earned college
scholarships in the performing arts. We hope you'll join the excitement as your
child begins the journey of a lifetime!

Thursdays from 6:00- 8:00pm Cost $125.00/month
Kid Power is an exciting performance class that combines acting with singing and

Kid Power is a performance class. The skills we focus on (acting, improvisation,
musical phrasing, choreography and stage pres- ence) enable the student’s performance
to be more complete. While we work on the voice, it is not the focus of this class.
All students are encouraged to take voice and piano lessons.

Here's what Annie director/lyricist and creator Martin Charnin said about our students:
|
|
"Next Generation Kids is one of the most inviting
professional training grounds for kids who aspire to make a life in the theatre,
that I've ever run across in all the years of my doing what I do. The program celebrates
and supports, and the lack of pressure is admirable. Kids are being kids and staying
kids, at the same time that they're learning and enjoying their craft."

|
Our Mission
|
|
The Next Generation Kids is dedicated to offering training by working industry professionals.
Each student builds self-esteem by accomplishing skills learned in class and then
showing their family and friends what they have learned in our many shows throughout
the year.
