The Something New Drama Club is not your everyday "pay to play" children's production where you big bucks for your child to take a role as "tree #4! Our program focuses on developing the skills of the actor and exposing kids to all aspects of a theatrical production. This boutique style drama club is limited in number of participants and all shows presented are truly ensemble shows where your child will shine in the spotlight. While our shows are smaller in scale than many other programs out there, the experience that your child will have is second to none; and, the theatrical skills that they will develop are not found in other programs!
Our shows are all intimate plays that focus on truly diving into the characters, settings, time periods and relationships shown on the stage. The material and instruction challenges young actors to work to develop their craft. Through theatrical games, exercises, research and rehearsal participants learn both basic and advance acting technique all disguised as sessions of fun!
In addition, the participants handle all elements of the production, from acting to set design, sound to lighting.
In all aspects, participants are coached by working theatre professionals, SAG and AEA members and educators. Our goal is to help your child find their voice in the theatre in whatever capacity that may be.
The Productions:
THE LAST LIFEBOAT
Drama - Spring 2025
Limit - 14 (Min 7)
Ages 12+
THE LAST LIFEBOAT is the untold story of J. Bruce Ismay, the owner of the White Star shipping Line when The Titanic sank, whose decision to save himself rather than go down with the ship made him the scapegoat for one of the greatest disasters of all time. This epic tale explores not only the tragedy itself, but the sensationalized trials and aftermath of the night that changed the world forever.
This gripping drama is sure to be not only a lesson in theatre for participants but also a lesson in history. Director, Jim Quinlan, is also a Titanic historian, who is excited to bring this story to life. Please note that this production is one for serious young actors who wish to stretch themselves further than they think possible. Parents should also note, script does contain some mild mature language.
LOOKING GLASS LAND
Comedy - Spring 2025
Limit 15
Ages 8-13
This award-winning stage adaptation by renowned playwright James DeVita takes Lewis Carroll’s original Through the Looking Glass and literally runs with it. This wild adaptation highlights and improvises on the pure, unadulterated fun of the story. The play still retains some of Carroll’s deeper meanings, but what it possesses most of all is a huge helping of unabashed silliness! This delightful romp through Alice’s looking glass land retains all of the familiar characters then introduces dozens of new ones: a baseball team, a gospel group called The Responsibilities, a train conductor, a peanut salesman, detectives, a Miss America pageant, star-struck tourists, plastic light saber wielding knights and much more. The Children’s Book and Play Review declares, "This is an excellent script... delightful, amusing and believable in a land that’s not."

My daughter has learned so much at Something New Studio and accomplished more than I could have imagined! Jim and his team have stretched these kids imaginations further than I had thought possible. It's great to see their finished product and know that they 100% created it from nothing.

Kylie loved the weekly paint classes. Lindsey does an amazing job of making sure that each child is proud of their work and happy with the results! To top it off it is actually fun for the kids!
