Participants receive instruction from theatre professionals in singing, acting, dancing and more as they prepare to mount a full-scale production. The venue is usually at Breckenridge\u2019s Riverwalk Center, but the show has been moved to the middle school \u2014 158 School Road in Frisco \u2014 due to <a id=\"N0x20bfb90N0x205cc40:N0x20bfb90N0x212e370\" href=\"https:\/\/www.summitdaily.com\/news\/local\/riverwalk-center-isnt-expected-to-reopen-until-mid-may-after-flooding\/\">flooding<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In 2018, almost 70 youth participated in the program, and attendance at the program\u2019s public performances exceeded 2,000. STEP is tuition-free so that cost is not a barrier for any interested children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Friday premiere starts at 7 p.m. with a silent auction beforehand at 5:30. Saturday will have a matinee at 2 p.m. and an evening show at 7. The performances end Sunday with a matinee at 4 p.m. The show is rated G and is two hours long with an intermission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children 16 and under.
