ANNUAL PRODUCTION
More than performance — theatre teaches courage, collaboration, and creative truth.
Each year, Kelowna Arts Academy brings Broadway to the Okanagan, producing a full-scale musical — a celebration of creativity, teamwork, and hard work. This production is more than a performance; it’s a collaborative learning experience that unites students and staff in a shared artistic vision.
Theatre is a cornerstone of our arts-integrated approach at Kelowna Arts Academy. Every staff member and student is involved and fully invested in assuring that our annual production is as polished and professional as possible. From the costume design and fabrication, to set building and lighting, to singing and dance choreography, no detail is overlooked, and everyone’s involvement counts!
Not all of our students are passionate about acting, and that’s the beauty of theatre. A production is so much more than what happens on stage. Whether performing, designing sets, creating costumes, managing props, running lights, or working backstage, students gain real-world experience in collaboration, creative problem-solving, time management, and technical design.
Behind the curtain, they develop confidence, empathy, resilience, and the ability to communicate and think on their feet — essential life skills that extend far beyond the theatre.

About Singin’ in the Rain
Singin’ in the Rain is a splashy, feel-good stage musical based on the beloved 1952 film of the same name. Bursting with Hollywood glamour, toe-tapping tunes, and a healthy dose of romance, it whisks audiences back to the dazzling 1920s—when silent films were out, “talkies” were in, and chaos reigned behind the cameras.
The story follows charming film star Don Lockwood, his quick-witted best friend Cosmo Brown, and talented newcomer Kathy Selden as they navigate the hilarious—and often disastrous—transition to sound. With the delightfully devious diva Lina Lamont threatening to derail their big movie, our trio must sing, dance, and laugh their way to a happy ending.
This musical is a joyful, tap-dancing celebration of love, friendship, and the magic of the movies.
