Conservatory is a progressive program of study for students who are interested in developing more advanced acting skills. Placement is based upon teacher recommendation and students must have taken a previous Childsplay class to be considered for Conservatory.

Each level is made up of two semesters of study, which may be taken in any order. Once a student completes both semesters, they may move on to the next level. Students who miss more than three classes in a semester will need to retake the class before moving on.

All Spring Conservatory students will participate in a showcase at the Tempe Center for the Arts on Wednesday, May 12. Students are required to be available for the dress rehearsal and the showcase on May 12 from 4-9 p.m.
