Nyack playhouse accepting kids for musical theater classes

Elmwood Playhouse in Nyack is now enrolling students for its On-Stage for Musical Theater Winter Session classes that begin in January. The enrollment deadline is Jan. 14 with students enrolled by Dec. 31 receiving a $25 early bird discount.

Taught by a faculty of theater professionals, the playhouse offers three programs: a Junior Class for ages 8 and 9 that begins on Jan. 24; an Intermediate Class for ages 10 and 11, beginning Jan. 16, and the Advanced Class for ages 12 to 14, beginning Jan. 21.
