MISSION: The mission of the Theatre Arts Academy is to provide production-based theatre education opportunities for children ages 9-13 to grow and develop as performers.
Any student with an interest in theatre is eligible for this program. We find varying degrees of experience is a plus for everyone involved, since much of our process is built on teaching the tools they need for a successful production.

The two siblings return to visit the magic tree house on a dreary, rainy day. They find a book where the sun is shining and the waves are crashing, so they wish to travel to this tropical place. They realize that they are in the eighteenth-century Caribbean, the time of pirates! The siblings meet Captain Bones, a mean old pirate who captures the two and forces them to help him find buried treasure. It's up to Jack and Annie to find their way back to the tree house and make their way home.
