Musical Theatre Workshops

NOW REGISTERING!

Introduction to Musical Theatre for students 5-13 years old.

Spring 2024: “Wish” MT1. and “Swiftie & Friends” MT2.

Musical Theater Workshops build skills in singing on key, understanding tempos, acting with full expression & projection, proper breathing and polishing movement as a group. Students will also develop and build improvisational skills through theatre games.

Musical Theatre incorporates acting, singing and dancing, but cannot take the place of a dance class. Musical Theatre students need to be enrolled in a dance class, as Musical Theatre Workshop time is used to set and rehearse choreography, it does not teach dance technique.

Two annual musical theatre workshops are offered each year and culminate in a professional children’s theatre performance in our Black Box Theatre at our Scripps Ranch Location. Faculty from our Dance and Music Departments, provide choreography and vocal coaching for our young actors and actresses.

MT1: Front Row Center – “inspired by theme” (6-8yrs)
This class teaches the fundamentals necessary to build a strong foundation. At the end of each semester, students will prepare a themed Informal Presentation.

MT2: Broadway Bound “Best of theme” (8-11yrs)
