Spotlight Studios is a vibrant youth theater program designed for students entering grades 3–8 who have a passion for performing—or simply want to discover one. Founded by Tessa Denen, a director with over two decades of youth theater experience, our mission is to introduce young performers to the exciting world of musical theater while helping them develop their skills, build confidence, and form meaningful friendships along the way.

​

We are excited to announce that this summer we will be performing Disney's Beauty and the Beast Jr! Throughout the end of May and month of June (beginning May 26), students gather each Tuesday - Friday morning from 9-12 at Pendleton Christian Church in Pendleton, Indiana, where they receive over 50 hours of hands-on instruction in acting, singing, and stage performance. The program culminates in a fully staged, full-length musical production, giving every participant the opportunity to shine in two live performances. These performances will take place on June 24 and 25.

​

There is a mandatory parent meeting on Thursday, May 14 at 6:30 at Pendleton Christian Church. We will go over all expectations, answer questions, talk auditions, and schedule details.

​

The cost is $200 per child and includes practice facility usage, stage rights for the show, a show t-shirt, and an unforgettable summer experience both on and off the stage.  The summer program is limited to 50 students, so register now!
