We will start each day with a dance warmup, vocal warmup and technique, and improv games to get everyone all loosened up! Acting, singing, and dancing will be taught both in a class setting and in a hands-on method, via our rehearsal process.
Career Day: Meet working professionals; from Broadway actors, to technicians, to talent agents!. Get a real taste of the industry- what it takes, and how many different paths there can be! Performance: Our workshop participants this summer will also be included in our professional theater company's mainstage musical, "The Wizard of Oz." This will give our young actors the opportunity to work alongside professional actors and technicians, and to really get a full professional theater experience. Rehearsal for The Wizard of Oz will also be a part of the workshop and used as a teaching tool. There will be an audition prior to the workshop start, but it is for placement only. All workshop participants will be included in the show. The audition is a means of getting to know everyone better, so that we can best cast people where they will really shine! While the lead roles will be performed by professional Equity actors, there are plenty of great feature roles, dance and vocal solos, and other onstage opportunities! We truly believe that the best way to learn theater is by doing. Whether you are considering a career in theater or not, a professional show experience offers invaluable lessons in teamwork, creativity, responsibility, and confidence. We know how much young talent is in our area, and we can’t wait to work with you! |
We are limiting registration to 30 participants, so that everyone gets more individual attention and has more performance opportunity.
