About Us

Bringing Glory To God In All We Do

Welcome to A1 Musical Theatre, a children's musical theatre program founded by passionate homeschool moms who recognized a need in our community!

Our Story

Our mission is simple: to bring God glory in all we do while providing homeschoolers with a platform to showcase their talents. We believe that singing, acting, and dancing are gifts from God, and with commitment and hard work, these talents can flourish. At Audience of One (A1) Musical Theatre, we express these talents by striving to put on quality shows while leaving the "drama" where it belongs—on the stage.

We cast based on the unique gifts and talents that God has bestowed upon each child. Whether your child is a dancer, singer, actor, or a triple threat, everyone is given the opportunity to shine in a way that highlights their abilities to the fullest.

Our core values—patience, honesty, transparency, love, and excellence—guide everything we do. While we may perform junior versions of secular Broadway shows, we understand that the core need of each child extends far beyond simply having a space to perform.

With an eternal perspective, our main goal is to point each child to Christ and their need for Him. The gospel is at the heart of all we do. While we love putting on a good show, our ultimate aim is to lovingly demonstrate to each child that giving glory to God is the very reason for our existence.

Join us at A1 Musical Theatre, where faith, talent, and community come together to create unforgettable experiences on and off the stage.
