Kids On Stage Programs
The Kids On Stage organization is multi-faceted, offering a variety of programs year-round. With a wide variety of schedules, there is something for everyone!
​
We have two divisions of Kids On Stage.
​
The KOS Academy
Includes: Broadway KIDS Academy, Rising Star Academy, & Triple Threat Academy.
​
​The KOS Academy is a place to learn and grow. Productions held in this division are open to everyone regardless of experience. For productions, auditions are still held, but everyone receives a role.
​
​
The Next Level
Includes: Mainstage KOS, The KOS Conservatory, & KOS All Stars
​
Programs in "The Next Level" are more selective and reserved for those students looking for a highly professional space to master their craft. These programs are audition/invite only, and the standard academy no-cut policy does not apply.
Broadway KIDS Academy
Broadway KIDS Academy was designed as a place for our youngest stars to shine. Rehearsal time will be focused on building foundational skills in drama, music, and dance through hands on games, ensemble-building activities, and rehearsal for a Broadway KIDS production (age-appropriate adaptations that are thirty minutes in length). Fall 2023 marked our first class of Broadway KIDS with a production of Disney's 101 Dalmatians KIDS.
Ages: 3-8 Year Olds
Auditions: Auditions Are Held- Everyone Receives A Role
2024-2025 Productions: Disney's Jungle Book KIDS (December 2024 Performances)
Rising Star Academy
Our Rising Star Academy continues to build on the foundations from BKA with a bit of a longer production. For ages 8-15, cast members rehearse and perform a Broadway JR production (age-appropriate adaptations that are one hour in length) for friends, family, and the public while building skills in drama, music, and dance. Past productions include Disney’s Moana JR, Shrek JR, and Roald Dahl's Willy Wonka JR, just to name a few!

Triple Threat Academy is for our 13-18 year olds (*age is sometimes adjusted depending on the show) to rehearse, learn, and perform in a space that is rigorous, professional, and supportive. Cast members work to rehearse and perform JR, One-Act, or Full Length Versions of hit Broadway musicals while practicing skills in dance, music, and drama. Previous shows include The SpongeBob Musical, Shrek: The Broadway Musical, and Mean Girls JR

KOS Conservatory
The KOS Conservatory was designed as an invite-only space where established KOS cast members dedicated to high-quality productions may engage in a rigorous rehearsal and performance process with new and innovative musical titles. Invitations are sent at the discretion of the Artistic Director each season based on previous KOS experience. The production quality mirrors that of regional or collegiate theater and aims to provide cast members with opportunities to participate in titles not often produced by mainstream theaters. The KOS Conservatory was launched with one of the very first productions of MAY WE ALL outside of its Nashville debut and has since produced hit musicals like HAIRSPRAY and SIX: Teen Edition.
Ages: Show Specific
Auditions: Auditions Are Not Held- Invites Are Sent To Cast Members
2024-2025 Productions: Dolly Parton's 9 to 5: The Musical (May 2025 Performances)

These cast members have demonstrated a commitment to the core values of Kids On Stage and participate in ongoing training to prepare for the Junior Theater Festival in Atlanta, GA & Sacramento, CA. Being a KOS All Star Team Member is an honor and a privilege. It is a commitment of time and energy reserved for students who are interested in taking their theatrical experience to the next level. Audition invitations are given out to cast members in spring & summer shows so that they may audition for the following season.
