How it Works
Attend the Workshop
While the kids are in the classroom working on Music, Choreography, and Lines, Parents are gathering information in the lobby while watching their kids on our 75" closed circuit TV.
*We do not recommend skipping this part!
Auditions
Let's start by saying that every student that auditions will be given a role or ensemble part. We believe in the power of Musical Theatre and the ability it has to change a person's life. No one should be denied that opportunity! Kids should spend time at home practicing all week! But not for perfection....for comfort.
The audition process is easy and fun! Kids will come in altogether and have the chance to shine among their peers. And for those too timid to speak out....no problem! We are here to guide them through the process. This will be GCAPA's first Musical Production as a Studio! So we will all go through it together!
Callbacks
If callbacks are necessary, we will have those interested come back on Saturday, 8/15/26 at 2pm to continue the audition process.
Cast List Posted
A Cast List will be posted in a central location online by Sunday, August 16.

ABOUT US
A lifelong thespian, Miss Wendi began her theatre career with the Islip Pro Arts of Long Island at the tender age of 6, just two years after starting dance classes. Each year at least 2 shows, from Playhouses to Community Theatre and High School performances. As a kid, she dreamed of a life on stage, but life had amazing, alternate plans for her.
Miss Wendi has been working with kids ages 2+ for 33 years and counting through Dance and Musical Theatre. She opened GCAPA in 2011 as a performing arts studio with the hopes of expanding from Dance to Musical Theatre, Art, and Music someday.
That day has come.
Someday is now.
Known for her creative story telling and ambitious costumes and sets, Miss Wendi is thrilled to bring the first Musical to Grand Central Academy of Performing Arts this year! And Huntersville is in need of a great Musical Theatre program!
If you or someone you know might be interested in being a part of the amazing team that Miss Wendi has cultivated, we welcome your imagination, creativity, and outside-the-box thinking! Email us at info@gcapa.net to set up a chat and we'll take it from there as we expand into ALL of the performing arts!
