Sign-up is underway for the Portal Players 2011 Capitol Glee and Wee Glee Singers choral program, which starts in September.

Glee gives children between age 4-16 an opportunity to learn to sing, dance and perform music genres including rock, pop.
Glee’s instructors Janet Schlackl and Ellen Vander Putten believe in educating the whole child.
Along with voice work they also teach important life skills such as poise, self-confidence, focus, problem solving, and teamwork.
