Roxy Performing Arts Center

The Roxy Performing Arts Center is the home of the Roxy Theatre Group (RTG), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization based in Miami, Florida, that has provided performing arts training to students in South Florida since 2002. The organization operates as a community-focused performing arts studio and theatre company, offering classes in dance, drama and voice through a teacher/student classroom format that culminates in on-stage productions. Its programs are geared primarily toward children ages 3 to 17, while catering to all ages. RTG's curriculum spans acting, singing and dance, delivered through after-school programs, a summer arts camp, and main-stage musical productions. The organization stages full musicals each season, with past productions including Seussical, The Musical, West Side Story, Guys and Dolls, Once Upon A Mattress, Damn Yankees, How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, Aladdin, Tarzan, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Annie Get Your Gun and In the Heights. These productions give students practical stage experience and are co-directed by the organization's artistic staff. The Roxy Performing Arts Center name also refers to the historic venue in Miami that formerly operated as a movie theater. The performing arts organization has become the identity most closely associated with the Roxy name in Miami's arts education community, functioning as a non-profit arts school rather than a commercial cinema. Key personnel include Ana Andreu, Programs Director, who has been with RTG since its inception in 2002 and oversees class scheduling, the after-school care program, the summer arts camp, curriculum, enrollment and the scholarship program, while co-directing main-stage musicals. Charles A. Sothers serves as Theatre Arts & Artistic Director, also with RTG since its inception, handling graphic design, music editing, video production and training students in acting and voice. As a non-profit organization, RTG operates with a mission of accessible arts education, including a scholarship program to support student enrollment. The organization maintains an active presence in the Miami arts community and continues to register students for its annual class schedule, with registration for the 26-27 school year beginning August 15 and classes starting September 8.
