Continuous development of the fundamental acting, singing and movement skills of Broadway musical theatre are the focus. Group songs and scenes are staged and ensemble energy and unity are the teaching focus. Projection, diction and stage presence are emphasized in solo work. Songs, dances, monologues and scenes are selected from the broad range of classic and contemporary Broadway to give these youngsters first hand experience with their favorite works. Ruhala Performing Arts Center Musical Theatre classes are ideal training grounds for the future Elementary and Middle School Broadway Ensembles.
