About the Workshop:
This is a Musical Theatre Performance Class. In this class the
students will hone their skills in Musical Theatre performance and auditioning.
Please have songs ready to work on. The experience level is intermediate and above.
This is not a class for the beginning performer with no stage experience.
An accompanist will be provided as needed. Please bring materials (notebook,
writing utensils, audio recorder - digital or cassette). Dedicated attendees who
can attend all 8 sessions are preferred, as the work progresses best with a regular group.
