Welcome to
Shine On Performing Arts!

Here at Shine On Performing Arts, we strive to offer all aspects of performing arts, for the whole community, through quality training, growth opportunities, and staged productions.

Acting, dancing & singing are very important as they are what the audience sees when they watch a performance, but how the show gets from the page to the stage is where the artistry truly happens. Countless individuals come together to CREATE, INSPIRE & SHINE long before opening night. The Artistic Team (Director, Musical Director, Choreographer, Stage Manager), Production Team (Costumes, Hair/Makeup, Lighting Design, Sound Design, Set Design and Build, Props), and many more opportunities to be filled…BY YOU!

Here at Shine On Performing Arts, we offer opportunities for ALL. That means you too, Mom and Dad, Grandma and Grandpa! From age 3-103, all experience levels and ALL ABILITIES! We facilitate growth in every area, through weekly classes, one-time workshops, and pop-up practice parties. Your work may even be featured in one of our upcoming showcases or productions that we present to the community. Whether on or off the stage, everyone has a place to shine in the arts. Our purpose is to help you find your sparkle ~ we love to see you shine!

Your journey is just beginning…

“I absolutely loved doing my first MainStage ever with ShineOn! I loved meeting new people and learning how to interact. Ms. Emily is an incredible director and I am so glad I learned from her. Being the antagonist in ShineOn’s most recent production: “Anastasia”, I was knew to multiple aspects of theater but I picked up on them fast learning with my incredible friends and supporters in the program. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to take part in this!”
