This Fall at Burchfield Theatre: Addams Family Jr.!

We’re thrilled to announce our 2025 musical production is Addams Family Jr.

A comically dark and heartwarming story of family, individuality, and love — perfect for young performers to shine.

More than an afterschool program…

What happens at the Burchfield shapes far more than a final performance. It builds confidence, courage, connection, and kids carry that with them for life. Here, every child has the chance to find their light!

A Look Inside Burchfield Educational Theatre.

Personalized Learning Focuses

During registration, you’ll tell us what your child is most curious about — whether it’s performing or behind the scenes. We use that info to shape their experience and encourage growth across multiple creative areas.

  • Acting: character exploration
  • Singing: vocal work & coaching
  • Dance: movement & stage choreography
  • Design: costumes, makeup, styling
  • Tech: lights, sound, & set magic
  • Leadership: assistant roles in directing and management

Children can participate in all core areas, but we make sure their interests are developed.

  • Fall classes run from Mon, August 25 to Fri, December 12, 2025. Each program meets for 15 weeks, with options for 2–5 days per week depending on what best meets your families needs. We follow the Hays CISD calendar. All school holidays are factored into the cost of our tuition. Thanksgiving week is not included in the 15 weeks that tuition covers.

  • Yes! Just give us 3 weeks’ notice. We will provide further instruction on how to request a change before classes start. We’ll do our best to accommodate any needed changes like adding, subtracting, or switching days, including adjusting monthly payment rates.

  • Yes! We often double-cast (and sometimes even triple-cast) our shows to give more children the chance to shine on stage and to ensure they get meaningful, developmentally appropriate performance experience.

    All students are considered equally for casting, but attending at least two days per week is required to be eligible for an on-stage role. This ensures each child has enough rehearsal time to feel confident and prepared. Students who attend more frequently may have additional opportunities or responsibilities, but two days is the minimum to participate in the show.

  • We offer after-school theatre programs for kids in Kindergarten through 12th grade, grouped by age and experience level:

    Youngbloods: K–2nd

    Supernova: 3rd–9th

    Ready for the World: 7th–12th (audition-based)

  • Yes! We offer after-school pickup from select local schools. Transportation availability is limited and based on demand—select “I’m interested in transportation” during registration and we’ll follow up with route details.

  • All of our programs culminate in a fully staged musical or play, and every child is cast and celebrated, no matter their experience or confidence level.

    If your child loves performing, we make sure they have space to shine. If they’re more interested in behind-the-scenes roles—like lighting, sound, costumes, or stage management—we offer a specialized tech curriculum and meaningful offstage opportunities.

    We support each student’s unique interests and help them grow in the areas where they feel most inspired.

  • Yes! We offer a preview day option! We want every child to find the right fit. Trial days can be arranged by filling out the preview day form.

  • We understand life happens! Occasional absences are fine. We just ask for notice ASAP so we can plan accordingly! For extended illnesses, we may offer partial credit with a doctor’s note.

  • After you submit your registration form with your deposit, you’ll receive a separate link through email to set up your monthly subscription through Stripe.

    All you need to do is add a credit or debit card and save it on file—that’s the card we’ll use to process your monthly tuition.

    First payment: Automatically charged on September 1

    Total payments: 4 equal installments (Sept 1, Oct 1, Nov 1, Dec 1)

Parent Testimonials

  • This has been the most incredible experience for our son. The staff is AMAZING, and they make sure every child is taken care of and given the tools to thrive. Our son’s confidence grew immensely through his first week of camp, so we signed up for more. ❤️

    Rachel H., Google Review

  • What an absolute treasure for our community! The Burchfield Educational Theatre is such a wonderful, nurturing space for children to truly learn the craft of theatre. The city of Buda is incredibly lucky to have a place like this. From the moment you walk in, you can feel the passion and warmth. Everyone is so friendly, and the personalized care and attention they give to each student is truly top-notch. You can tell they are dedicated not just to putting on a great show, but to building confidence and skill in every single child. I wish them many, many, many years of continued success! They deserve it all.

    Ashley P., Google Review

  • Most importantly, my daughter LOVED this camp. She was sad when her time there came to an end and would never want to leave at the end of the day. I found the owner and staff extremely pleasant and warm. Lastly, my daughter learned a lot about different arts. The camp gives kids opportunities to contribute to a theatrical production in whatever ways most interest them. My view is that kids (and adults) learn best when they have some choice and are interested.
