About Us
Hi!
We are Showtime, a children’s performing group focused on bringing the arts to Western Colorado. We want all kids to experience the joy of performance and singing Musical theater. In Showtime, your child will experience singing, acting and dancing, along with costumes and sets, as they star in their very own musical number.
In our family, we have experience in singing, theater and performance preparedness. While helping our own children get ready for a performance we see the discipline and confidence it gives them. We want to give your children the same opportunity to grow.
