FAQs

At the majority of our locations, our classes fill quickly during back-to-school time and are often waitlisted. Space permitting, we do enroll students through January 31st. In order to perform in the spring performance, it is generally expected students participate in a minimum # of skill classes prior to the performance season, which begins (on or around Feb 1st). At that time, rehearsals will be well underway, and enrollment will close until we open again for the next school year session.

To ensure a fair trial period and allow students to acclimate to the program fully, enrollment in our classes requires a 2-installment (7-class commitment). We understand that registering for a new program can be intimidating, especially when unsure of your child’s enjoyment.

This commitment structure is designed to provide a comprehensive experience over a minimum of 7 classes, allowing your student to make an informed decision about their participation in the program. After the commitment, if your student does not enjoy it, with written notification, we will drop your student and stop any remaining upcoming payments. Look at it this way: seven classes are 7 hours, which is about one school day.

We pinky cross promise each hour is crammed packed with fun. It may not end up being their “thing,” but the majority of students enjoy it enough to attend for 7 hours.

 Tuition will be prorated to exclude the previous classes your student did not attend.

Our program is a full-year program. Tuition is calculated at $18 per class x 32 (34 for Teen Acting Academy) classes that will be held throughout the year- including the dress rehearsal class and the performance class, which are held at the Summerlin Performing Arts Center the day of their final performance. This amount is then divided into equal payments that will be processed on the 1st of each month throughout the school year.

At Drama Kids, we provide a more budget-friendly way to pay for your child’s tuition rather than paying upfront for classes; it’s more of a pay-as-you-go set up. Our installment billing divides the yearly cost into equal payments throughout the school year, making it more convenient for you.

Installment payments are automatically processed using the card on file upon enrollment and on the 1st month thereafter through May 1st.

Our annual performance fee provides the students with awards and a special performance venue (Summerlin Performing Arts Center). This $30 performance fee will be posted to your child’s account and charged on March 1st.

Drama Kids does request students to wear/ provide specific clothing (such as specific colors, pants, skirts, t-shirts, etc, usually clothing items already have at home) as a costume base, and DK will provide character-specific accessories and props.

Other OPTIONAL items such as t-shirts, cast and individual photos, and performance videos can be purchased if desired.

Lastly, we do have a Late Pick Up Fee.

Please keep in mind that classes are often scheduled back-to-back, and instructors have obligations immediately following the end of class/camp time. A $15 fee will be assessed if a child is picked up more than 10 minutes late. Each 10-minute increment will result in an additional $15 fee.

1st occurrence will be a warning. 2nd occurrence will be charged as described. 3rd occurrence will require registration for the school’s aftercare program.

No. DK tuition amount is for actual class days only; we do NOT charge for holidays or days off.

The easiest and most secure way to update your credit card is through our parent portal. You can access our portal through our website. If you have trouble updating your card, you can always call our office.

Enrollment requires a two installment (7 class commitment). Once the 2-month/installment commitment has been fulfilled, you can send a written request to drop/stop installments to [email protected] at least 5 days PRIOR to the next billing cycle.

If a 5-day written notice is not provided, the account will continue to be due and payable.

Once a card is processed, no refunds will be provided. No refunds, credits, or prorates will be issued for missed days of class/camp due to illness, schedule conflicts, forgetting to attend class, traveling, etc. You may call our office to make a reservation for a make-up class at another location during the same week (This is not guaranteed /space permitting).

DK will not provide refunds for canceled classes due to inclement weather or “Acts of God.” An Act of God is defined is a legal term for events outside of human control, such as sudden floods or other natural disasters, pandemics, etc., for which no one can be held responsible. DK will make all reasonable efforts to reschedule a canceled class (this is not guaranteed).

Step into the Drama Kids world, where we kick off each class with a bang! First up, we have some super fun icebreakers that get our minds, bodies, and voices primed for action. Then, we dive into the speech segment, where our students sharpen their articulation, projection, and volume control. Our creative movement portion is where things start to get juicy. Here, students unleash their inner physical storytellers and master postures and body language. Next comes the main event, where students perform short, scripted, or improvised scenes that bring together their speech and movement skills with their unique creativity. Finally, we end each class on a high note with a high-energy concluding activity.

Students who are enrolled throughout the year will begin rehearsals for their end-of-the-year performance during the last 1/3 of the school year. These “end-of-the-year spring performances” are typically performed during May at the Summerlin Performing Arts Center (SPAC).

This is a short, theatrical performance where students are given the chance to demonstrate the skills they’ve learned in class. Each student gets a character with lines to memorize and uses teamwork to rehearse in class and perform for parents, families, & friends in May at the SPAC.

At Drama Kids, we value the comfort of all students attending our classes. With this in mind, we kindly request parents do not observe classes.

Instead, we invite parents to 3 scheduled special parent events throughout the year as follows: Fall~ Parent Participation Playhouse (held during regular class), which will allow parents to fully immerse themselves in the experience and act up with us.

Winter: Mid-Year Parent Presentation Day (held during regular class).

Spring: End of the Year Spring Performances held at Summerlin Performing Arts Center.

Ideally, Drama Kids teachers instruct their classes during both the Fall and Spring semesters of the academic year. However, in the event that schedules change or teacher availability changes, rest assured that our entire team is fully trained in the Drama Kids system and capable of leading a successful class.

No. It is not necessary, but of course, always an option if you feel uncertain or uneasy about your student getting to DK on the 1st day. With the exception of kindergartners (see below), we are unable to go to student classrooms and collect students individually.

Please let your child’s teacher know your student will be participating in Drama Kids each week. Classroom teachers are very helpful in making sure students know where to go (if they are aware). In addition, you will receive a welcome email a couple of days prior to classes starting with the class information. You can communicate this information with your student prior to the start of classes. Lastly, the schools typically make an announcement on the 1st day reminding all students (& their teachers) where Drama Kids will gather/meet.

How will my kindergartener get to class? First and foremost, please be sure to inform your child’s teacher, letting him/her know that your student will be participating in Drama Kids classes each week. Each school has their own procedure for kindergarteners to get to class. Typically, either our team will go to each Kinder room and pick up the kinder students, or the school has a kinder representative escort all the DK kindergartners to us during dismissal. This info will be confirmed in the “Welcome Email” you will receive a couple of days prior to class start.

Yes. Please inform the aftercare program of your child’s participation in Drama Kids and indicate on the enrollment form that your child will attend after care after Drama Kids. DK teachers will escort students to aftercare after DK dismissal is complete.

At Drama Kids, we’re proud to offer our exclusive Drama Kids Take 2 Performance Academy, where select locations may feature musical theatre classes. Check our class schedule page to see if there is a Take 2 class at a location near you.

TAKE 2 program allows our CURRENTLY enrolled Drama Kids students to expand their acting skills and gain additional performance experience. Our TAKE 2 program is designed for students who desire to gain additional performance experience. In this program, students will rehearse for 1.5 -2 hours, one day a week on a selected musical.

After 13- 14 rehearsal classes, each season will conclude in a professionally produced theatrical production at the Summerlin Performing Arts Center. Each student will perform a minimum of 2 performances, and our SR Take 2 students (teens) will perform up to 4.

Keep in mind enrolling in the Take 2 Musical Academy requires enrollment and active participation in a weekly Creative Drama skill class. The skill classes are a CRUCIAL component to the success of this performance (as this is where the foundation is laid).

Unfortunately, no exceptions will be made.

Our JR Take 2 Musical Academy is open to 1st- 6th graders & SR Take 2 Musical Academy is open to 6th-12th graders.

Our Take 2 Musical Academy is done the DRAMA KIDS way. Expectations grow as our students grow. Our students are still our #1 focus. We focus on BUILDING CONFIDENCE, NOT on the SHOWS! No pressure. No singing or dancing experience is required.

To ensure the success of our shows, it is mandatory for all students enrolled in the Take 2 Performance Academy program to be registered in a Creative Drama or Acting Academy class – no exceptions. This class provides the essential foundation and skills for our students to produce an incredible performance.

To ensure the success of our shows, it is mandatory for all students enrolled in the Take 2 Musical Academy to be registered in a Creative Drama weekly skills class or Teen Acting Academy weekly skills class – no exceptions. This required skills class provides the essential foundation and necessary skills for our students to produce an incredible performance.

Why does my child also need to be enrolled in a weekly Creative Drama skills class or Teen Acting Academy skills class to enroll in the Take 2 program?

Our Creative Drama and Acting Academy weekly skill classes are the core of Drama Kids. These weekly 1 hour classes teach students the foundations of acting, public speaking, and stage presence. Take 2 Musical Academy classes are strictly rehearsals where the production team focuses on teaching the script material, music, and choreography.

There is not enough time in the short Take 2 classes to teach the basic acting skills. It is expected students already know, bring, & apply the skills they are learning in their weekly Creative Drama skills classes to the Take 2 musical rehearsal classes to enhance their overall performance so they can confidently & proudly perform on stage. We have found, since our beginnings, that these skills classes are CRUCIAL to the success of the musical productions. Students can be enrolled in any Creative Drama skills class or Acting Academy skills class, no matter the location, and still be involved in the Take 2 Musical Academy.

Enrollment in our Take 2 Musical Academy should be considered carefully. Enrollment in our Take 2 Musical Academy is intended as a commitment to remain for the duration of the show season (roughly 14 classes/4 months). The reserved spot is considered occupied, potentially resulting in the rejection of potential new students seeking enrollment in the Take 2 Musical Academy. Should a student decide to drop prior to the end of the show season, the remaining tuition amount will be processed in full on the date we receive notification of the drop.
