Musical Theater Workshop
In this fun and supportive 4-week musical theater workshop, students will build skills in singing, dancing, acting, and character creation while learning focus, teamwork, and theater etiquette. Each class offers personalized coaching to help young performers gain confidence and grow as triple-threat artists. Students will explore songs and scenes from popular shows like Matilda the Musical Jr., Seussical Kids, and Frozen Jr., as well as create original material through improvisation and short film projects. Perfect for both new and experienced performers, this class offers a creative, camp-style experience where imagination and expression take center stage.
