Rock Out with Rock Bottom: The Musical! - Gr. 3-8


Northwest Talent Academy -
NWTA 2026

Sing, dance, and act your way through Rock Bottom, the hysterically funny prehistoric musical! Mysterious monsters, a volatile volcano, and a cast of crazy cave folk command the stage in this puntastic show.
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! One thing is for certain: the Stone Age rocks!

Instructors

Jaci Decker got her Bachelor of Arts in K-12 Vocal/General Music Education from the University of MN Twin Cities. She taught music in the St. Cloud School District for four years and decided to stay home with her children. For 21 years, she led the Children’s Choir at Riverside Church, where she put on several mini musicals. She has also led their Summer Production Boot Camp, where they put on a musical with 1st-5th graders in a week every summer. For 19 years, she ran a piano studio out of her home. Jaci can often be heard saying that leading the kids' choir and Production Boot Camp is her favorite thing to do besides being a wife to her fabulous husband and mom to her four children.
