This program requires performer experience. If you are new to musical theatre, check out our other class offerings, including Musical Theatre Foundations.
Thank you for your interest in joining our school-year-long musical theatre education program, the Rising Rockets Academy. Classes will take place on Mondays beginning August 17, 2026 and run all school year (with breaks for holidays and spring break). Each semester will feature a showcase production at the end of it and those dates are:
Monday, December 14, 2026
Monday, May 10, 2027
Class Schedules
All classes will take place on Mondays.
Fall Semester runs from Aug. 17 through Dec. 14, with no class the week of Nov. 23.
Spring Semester runs from Jan. 11 (2027) through May 10, with no class the week of March 15.
All classes will be held at Trinity Wellsprings Beach House in Satellite Beach at the following times:
K-2 students: 3:30 to 4:15 p.m.
Grade 3-5 students: 4:30 to 5:30
Middle school students (6 to 8): 5:30 to 6:30
High school students: 6:30 to 8 p.m.
The Cost
The cost for the program, which includes all materials, is $550 per semester. Payments can be made monthly at $110 per month, or in a lump sum of $500 by the first class for a $50 discount. Those wishing to pay for the entire 10-month program upfront will receive a $100 discount and pay only $1000 for the school year. If you plan to pay with Step Up for Students, full-semester payments are required.
We may ask students to bring some costume items from home, or buy base costume pieces like tights, shorts or jazz shoes. We are always willing to help find these items if it is a hardship or hassle, however.
Curriculum
Our curriculum has been written custom for our program and each age group, with specific skill sets as the end goal, by Katie Parsons, who has a performing arts business certification from New York University and a degree in Musical Theatre from Ball State University (and two decades of professional experience).
The classes have two main instructors that are trained in vocal performance, acting, musical theatre dance and improvisation. We also plan to have guest master teachers and workshops to enhance the experience for every student.
Applying for Rising Rockets
We are requiring an application for consideration for the program. This ensures our students in this program have experience and are willing to commit to the highest-level of learning in this program.
That application is linked here and it is due by July 22, 2026.
Our team will approve them on a rolling basis but please allow at least five days for us to review and approve them.
From there, you will either receive:
- An invitation to the program
- An email asking for more information
- An email directing you to some of our other offerings if the Academy is not the best fit right now
All of those emails will be sent no later than Monday, July 27. Classes begin the week of August 17, 2026.
If you are new to musical theatre and not sure if the program is the right fit, we also have two entry level musical theatre classes starting in the fall that do not require auditions. You can read more about those here.
And thank you for your interest in our Rising Rockets Academy.
