We at Top Hat Theatrics take a dedicated stance on providing theatre education for actors from all walks of life. Whether it is the performers first time on stage to the twentieth time, we approach every student the same:
A mission to grow, build, and be a leader in the everyday world by teaching life through the art of theatre.
Our instructors and staff are focused on providing a safe environment where art can thrive. A foundation for imagination and choices to come together in a rich environment while also providing the needed discipline and structure to train in acting, singing, and dancing.
As an educational theatre, it is you, the students, and the parents that makes Top Hat Theatrics what it is today.
