The Studio @ CFRT

Welcome to The Studio at CFRT- Where young artists grow, shine, and take center stage!

At The Studio, we create a supportive and energetic space where young performers can build confidence, sharpen their skills, and express their creativity, all while having a blast!

Our 7-week sessions culminate in a Final Presentation, a proud moment for students to share their progress and passion with family and friends. Classes are taught by experienced theatre professionals and talented local teaching artists who are passionate about inspiring the next generation.

We proudly offer Military, Sibling, and Multi-Class discounts to help make the arts more accessible to all families.
