Fall 2026 Academy Class Registration
Select all classes and events you’d like to register for below, then click Register — your selections will carry over automatically.
This registration is for one student. If you’re enrolling more than one child, please submit a separate registration for each child.
WRP Academy classes are enrichment opportunities, separate from WRP mainstage productions. Participation in Academy classes is not required for, and does not guarantee, casting in a WRP show.
Fall 2026 semester: Saturday classes run Sep 12–Nov 14, Monday classes run Sep 14–Nov 2, Tuesday classes run Sep 15–Nov 3 (8 sessions each). Registration for each class or event closes on its first meeting date, or earlier if it reaches capacity — full classes/events show a waitlist option below.
Grade bands: Elementary School (2nd–5th grade), Middle School (6th–8th grade), High School (9th–12th grade).
Each class requires a minimum of 4 students to run. If a class doesn’t meet minimum enrollment, registered families will be notified and refunded in full.
Refunds: full refund if you withdraw before a class’s first meeting date; no refunds after the class has started.
Regular attendance matters — missing two or more sessions means a student won’t get the full value of the class.
