My girls have really enjoyed Musical Theater. The coaching by Mr. Sauder and student teachers has been a great introduction into theater.

The class was great! It seemed like all of the children were assigned parts that fit them well. Our family really enjoyed the show. It would help our family a ton if we didn't have to get to a class that starts at 9 a.m. though ... it's really too early for those of us who travel to get to TCHA. It is miserable to deal with school buses and rush hour after we hurried through our morning; it makes it the exact opposite of what homeschooling should be like (especially on Wednesdays when we are out late for church, too).
