INTRO TO MUSICAL THEATRE

Welcome to the world of musical theatre! This introductory course will give students the opportunity to work on their singing, acting, and dancing skills. Students will also get the chance to work on audition preparation and performance skills with their seasoned Teaching Artist who is also a practicing professional in the theater arts industry This is a fast paced and fun class that is meant to challenge students in individual, ensemble, and group skills. We work together to help prepare students for auditions in the real world and for future productions.
