The Eastern Shore Repertory Theatre has announced that registration is now open for its fall 2025 Kids Academy, offering young actors in grades K through 6 a chance to hone their skills and take the stage.

The academy will feature two popular titles for students to choose from: “The Lion King KIDS,” which meets Mondays, and “Frog and Toad KIDS,” which meets Wednesdays. Both classes will be held at the Nicholson Center in Daphne and will conclude with a live performance in November.

Led by ESRT’s professional creative team, the program is designed to give students more than stage time. It aims to build confidence, spark creativity and foster a strong sense of belonging.

“As ESRT continues to grow into one of the most exciting performing arts organizations in the region, our Kids Academy remains at the heart of our mission — helping young performers find their voice and take their place in the spotlight,” the company said in a release.

Spots are limited, and classes fill quickly. Registration and more information can be found online at www.easternshorerep.org/kids-academy.
