NOTE FOR STUDENTS 18 AND UNDER:  Arts Express is dedicated to arts education as the foundation for developing high-caliber, triple-threat musical theatre skills.  Students wishing to be cast in a Main Stage Musical (such as The Descendants) need a minimum of 12 AE Arts Education Credits.  Credits can be for any AE Workshop, Class, Camp or Conservatory.  These Credits will be applied when the student is cast in a Main Stage Musical and any residual Credits will be banked for future Main Stage Musicals. Credits are banked at the time of payment (rather than the time of participation) and may be applied to Musical casting once they are banked.  Credits are active for one year from purchase and will not carry over year-to-year.
