Performance is the main focus. The class will be treated
as a workshop where students come prepared to perform and receive
criticism. Instruction will be guided by the individual student's needs
and the material being performed. Students will work on scenes and
songs from the best of musical theatre, so both acting and singing will
be stressed through the musical form. Performance styles will become
sophisticated and in-depth as students reach for deeper truth in their
expression. The ensemble will also give public performances. All levels
welcome. Each term culminates with public performances.
NOTE: ALL STUDENTS ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE A WEEKLY ½ HOUR PRIVATE
VOICE LESSON TO BE A MEMBER OF THE MUSICAL THEATRE ENSEMBLE.
