A PEEK INTO OUR PAST PRODUCTIONS & WORKSHOPS...

Meet Xandria Cross, Founder and Director of The Palace Players!

Xandria has had a lifelong passion for singing, acting, and dancing and has been blessed to work in TV, film, theater, and the Christian Music industry. 

Xandria has a heart for children and teaching and has taught countless students from Pre-K all the way to adults.

It brings her so much joy to pass on what she has learned to the next generation and her purpose in starting Palace Players is to create a space where young people can grow their craft and engage in creative community using their God given gifts for the kingdom!

"My son is new to musical theater and has done two workshops so far. Xandria challenges her students He’s learned a lot about singing and dancing that has added to his overall acting ability and confidence, not just for musical theater, but in general! She’s a great teacher and has such a heart for her students. The personal attention and encouragement she gives them goes so far in helping them not only hone their craft, but also feel seen, heard and matter. That has so much value in today’s world! ” 

~ A.T. Homeschool Mom

"It was amazing working with Xandria who's always so sweet, helpful and really encouraging. I feel like this experience has strengthened me musically and personally. Working on all the steps, all the footwork, all the vocals, it was a lot of fun. Especially with my friends, we had a blast!"

~ D.K. Student

"I loved learning the choreography, learning vocal techniques that I can use in the future, being with all my friends and most important of all, working with Xandria Cross! I love her with all my heart, she’s like a big sister to me."
