STUDIO PRODUCTIONS

SA Studio productions are open to all students in the age range given- You do not need to be affiliated with a specific school. Everyone who registers is in the show, but auditions are held on the first day of rehearsal to determine who will play which role(s). You MUST register ahead of time to receive audition information and participate on the first day.

All regular weekly rehearsals take place at Starting Arts: 525 Parrott Street in San Jose.

If you have any trouble registering, email [email protected]. Do not call the Starting Arts office.

Refunds requested between registering and the start date of the program will receive a refund of 50% of the registration fee. Please be sure all dates work for your schedule before registering! You will be asked to agree to this policy when registering.

Absence Policy

Please note: students are expected to be at all Wednesday and Saturday rehearsals. They can have a maximum of 3 absences/late arrivals before it could affect their role (with on stage responsibilities being given to other performers) or depending on exactly how much was missed, it may mean being dismissed from the program. All tech rehearsals and performance dates are MANDATORY for the safety of the cast as we add in many new elements that week.

Fall 2024 Play

The Play That Goes Wrong is a comedy about a drama society’s attempt to put on a play that goes wrong in every way possible.
