✨ About the Story: The Polar Express Holiday Workshop

On Christmas Eve, a young boy embarks on a magical adventure to the North Pole aboard the Polar Express, discovering the true meaning of friendship, bravery, and the spirit of Christmas.

In this holiday workshop, students will bring this much-loved story to life by workshopping scenes, rehearsing songs, and learning choreography inspired by the journey of the Polar Express. Guided by professional directors, choreographers, and vocal coaches, they’ll step into the roles of passengers, conductors, and festive characters, experiencing the magic of storytelling while building their skills in acting, singing, and dance.
