WELCOME TO THE SHOW

Any dream will do.

We are thrilled you are here to support this cast of 57 talented youth in The Academy's production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. Not only does this show provide themes of hope, dreams, and forgiveness, but it has also given the cast an opportunity to learn many styles of music and choreography.

We are ecstatic with the response from the community regarding our offerings of year-round classes, workshops, summer camps, and youth productions! We have a talented staff of teaching artists who all provide a safe environment for students to explore, learn, and develop new skills. We have classes for students of all ages!

This past year we have been overwhelmed with gratitude for the youth and parents of this community. The summer camps, Rising Stars Youth Ensemble, Apprentice Program, and year-round classes continue to flourish, not only in participation numbers, but also in the commitment of the participants to improve their craft through their involvement with The Academy at Music Theatre Wichita.

Whether your dream is to become a performer on Broadway, to become a costume designer, or to try a new passion, we invite you to join us at The Academy at Music Theatre Wichita. Thank you for being here and celebrating the hard work of everyone involved with the show!
