Rugrats
Musical Theatre Program (Prep - Grade 2)
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 Rugrats (Prep-Grade 2) on this epic adventure!

About the Program
Our RUGRAT Musical Theatre Program is built from creative play, allowing our students to develop their skills in singing, acting and dance in a safe and supportive environment all while working towards a performance in partnership with our JUNIOR students.
Our youngest performers fit into one of two categories;
-
Show pony - itching to get onstage!
-
Ensemble player - just happy to quietly develop their skills in a class setting. No performance needed!
We have a pathway for every child!
Perhaps DANCE is more your style? We have a 45min Jazz/Ballet hybrid class on Saturday mornings too. Or maybe DRAMA is your vibe! Also running for 45min on Saturday mornings. Do one, two, or all three classes and receive a discount!
