Juniors
Musical Theatre Program (Grade 3 - Grade 6)
Show Overview
Based on the hit DreamWorks Animation movie franchise, TROLLS JR. is packed with unforgettable characters, catchy songs, big laughs, and a heartwarming story about friendship, resilience, and finding happiness within.
The story follows the ever-optimistic Trolls, who always have a song on their lips and the comically pessimistic Bergens, who believe happiness can only be found with Trolls in their stomachs. When a demanding foreign emissary arrives in Bergenland, Poppy and her fellow Troll performers are forced to completely reimagine their show or risk being served up by a Chef determined to reclaim her former glory.
With larger-than-life characters, exciting ensemble numbers, and plenty of opportunities for performers of all experience levels, TROLLS JR. promises to be a fun-filled theatrical adventure from start to finish.
Join our Juniors (Grades 3-6) on this epic adventure!

Payment Plans
We do not expect fees to be paid in advance each term as these packages can really add up, so we offer a number of payment plan options with our direct debit partner PayAdvantage.
