Over the course of two weeks of morning classes, we will work on auditioning, acting, singing and dancing--culminating with a performance! The first week of class will focus on terminology, technique, auditioning, acting, character work, blocking, memorization, choreography and becoming familiar with the music. The second week will focus on singing and rehearsing to put the show together. *Students are required to attend both weeks in order to perform in the musical.
Parents and families are invited to attend a performance on the final day of class!
