The JCC offers two great youth theatre programs for those who are interested in performing in the spotlight. As a way to learn music and dance techniques, the JCC provides an opportunity for kids in grades 2nd-4th to join the Nova theatre program, and grades 5th-12th to join the Starz theatre program. Both programs offer a safe space for those who are new to the stage as well as a supportive outlet for returning thespians.
