Our Musical Theatre Workshop is a 16-week program that takes the student from audition to performance. The class is structured to mirror the way in which a professional play is rehearsed. The audition serves as a tool for learning and allows us to cast the show while emphasizing individual talents. During rehearsals, the students work on vocal skills such as projection, diction and breath support as well as singing, characterization and dance choreography. At the end of our 16-week program, students perform in a professional theatre space with professional sets, costumes, lighting and production crews. (That is what makes this experience the “real deal”!)

Classes are Saturdays 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
