Buellton Rec is so excited to be partnering with The Adderley School for the Performing Arts to bring some awesome theatrical programming for kids to the Valley this fall/winter!

There will be a free open house at Buellton Rec in Room A from 2 PM-4 PM on Saturday, August 15th to learn more about their school and their Conservatory Prep Program. Janet Adderley and some of her staff will be there in person that day to answer any questions you may have! Empowering kids and spreading joy has been the mission at THE ADDERLEY SCHOOL for over 36 years with thriving programs in Pacific Palisades, Santa Barbara, Austin, Rowayton/Darien (Connecticut), New Orleans and now Buellton!!! Their Musical Theatre classes use a method where all kids receive intimate mentorship, and ALL kids have their solo moment on stage to shine! Using songs and scenes from popular Broadway Shows and Movie Musicals, ADDERLEY instructors instill confidence and joy in every student, helping them discover and develop their unique talents and realize their potential on stage and in life! Graduates of THE ADDERLEY SCHOOL FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS have won Tony awards , starred in blockbuster movies and performed on Broadway and in professional theaters across the country. ADDERLEY students have performed with Katie Perry , Andrea Bocelli , Kenny Loggins , David Foster , Rod Stewart , and Josh Groban among other entertainment luminaries.
