Question 1

How do I register for classes?

Accepted Answer

You can register for our classes here https://campscui.active.com/orgs/TroubadourTheatre  If you have questions or issues with the online registration, please contact Kristen Wheeler at troubadourtheatre@yahoo.com or 602-790-6876

Question 2

Do I need to purchase a Club Membership?

Accepted Answer

The Club Membership is completely optional and is not required to register for classes.  If you do purchase a Club Membership, the student gets 20% off all camps/classes/workshops for 1 year from date of purchase.  If you're planning to do several classes throughout the year as well as a summer camp or two, it will save you some money.

Question 3

What are your COVID precautions?

Accepted Answer

We sanitize surfaces daily. Our room has 2 air purifiers and a MERV-1500 filter on the AC.  We require students to wash and sanitize hands before eating.  We cap classes and camps smaller than usual to allow for social distancing.

As of Spring 2023, masks are not required. Weather permitting, we eat snacks/lunch outdoors so those wearing masks can safely remove them.

Troubadour reserves the right to require masks in the future if needed either if COVID transmission is high in Pima County, or if students in the camp/class have been exposed to COVID.

Question 4

Is the price listed the cost per week or the cost for the full session?

Accepted Answer

All class prices listed are for the full 4-8 week session.  We strive to provide extremely affordable performing arts education, so we offer reasonable prices, and $25 off for early registration, $25 off for siblings, and $50 off if you register for more than one class in a session.

Question 5

Do you offer scholarships?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  We offer primarily need based scholarships to any student who cannot afford camp/class.  Our goal is to provide arts education to all students, regardless of financial situation.  Please just email troubadourtheatre@yahoo.com to request a scholarship application.

Question 6

I see that the session of classes has already begun, can my child still join?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  Students are welcome to join Improv classes at any time during the session and all other classes all the way up until week 4 of the session.  We frequently have students adding late, so please don't be shy about joining!  We're happy to have more students join us! The other students are generally excited to welcome someone new to the group.

Question 7

How many students are in your classes/camps?

Accepted Answer

Our classes during the school year are kept small as a COVID precaution and so each student gets plenty of attention and coaching, stage time, and opportunities for large roles in the performance.  Classes on average have 6-10 students in each.  Most camps are larger, with anywhere from 10 to 30 students depending on the camp.  (Rock typically has 10-12 students, both acting camps are around 15-18, and musical theatre about 30 students).

Question 8

Do I need to pay the full fee at the time of registration?

Accepted Answer

No, only the $25 non-refundable deposit ($50 deposit for camps) is due at the time of registration for classes to save a spot for your student.  The rest is due on the first day of the session.  You can select the Deposit price option listed under the price options for each class/camp. The deposit is not in addition to the class/camp fee.

Question 9

What is your refund policy?

Accepted Answer

Each fee has a non-refundable deposit included--which is $25 for classes/workshops, and $50 for summer camps.  After that, the rest paid is fully refundable if requested at least 7 days prior to the start of the camp/class only.  After that date, refunds are given in the full amount paid in the form of a credit only, good towards any future camp, class, workshop, with no expiration.

Question 10

Which class is best for a beginner?

Accepted Answer

If between ages 6-10, Intro to Acting (or Rising Stars Camp) is the best class to start with, although not a prerequisite for Acting I. If over age 10, Improv is a great class for beginners to get comfortable with acting on stage and basic acting techniques.

Question 11

Are you hiring?

Accepted Answer

If you are a theatre, music, or art professional experienced and qualified to teach a class, then yes!  We are also sometimes looking for camp assistants as well.  All positions are independent contractor only and will be contracted for a specific session.  Instructors/directors must be 18+, be able to teach a class independently without training, have experience working with kids/teens, and the ability to get a level 1 fingerprint clearance card. We are always looking for more instructors to add classes to our fall and spring roster, so if you're interested, please email to inquire.

Question 12

Do you offer drama class/club services to schools?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We have done many contracts with public and charter schools in the Tucson area to provide drama classes, after-school clubs, workshops, and play productions to their students.  Please email to inquire.
