Crescendo is a joyful celebration of Centre Stage School’s dedicated Company Dance Teams, Company Musical Theatre teams, Adult Musical Theatre group and Adult Choir.  Through music, song and dance these hardworking and talented performers will shine, sparkle and radiate their talent, as well as their love of performance.  All Company Dance and Musical Theatre teams are made up of devoted students of different disciplines in the Performing Arts; they audition to enroll in these classes, they attend multiple classes per week as well as additional practice on their own time – they live to entertain!

As for our Adult Singers, Dancers and Actors, some are returning to the stage after a break, others are meeting the stage for the first time, all with a sense of style, grace and composure – and a shared love of the performing arts.  Join us at Centre Stage School for a magical evening, celebrating exceptional talent and extraordinary performances that build to a wonderful crescendo.
