January Intensive
Program 2027
A Two-Week Performing Arts Experience
Set in a lively, fast-paced city full of colour, chaos, and big dreams, this Annie-inspired cabaret bursts onto the stage with energy and heart. Follow a fearless young orphan with unstoppable optimism as she takes us on a whirlwind journey through song, dance, and storytelling, meeting larger-than-life characters along the way.
Each performance brings a new moment of joy, humour, and emotion as the ensemble shines in dynamic musical theatre numbers celebrating friendship, resilience, and hope. With show-stopping choreography, powerful vocals, and plenty of sparkle, this cabaret is a feel-good celebration of dreaming big, standing strong, and finding your place in the spotlight.
Step into the spotlight these holidays with our January Intensive—an exciting, high-energy program where students don’t just learn… they become part of a full theatre production. Over two incredible weeks, performers train, rehearse, and bring a show to life in a vibrant, supportive, and inspiring environment.
This program is designed for students who are ready to challenge themselves, grow their skills, and experience the magic of the stage from rehearsals right through to curtain call.
