What will we offer?
Our daytime programs, running 9am - 12pm for incoming grades 6-10 and 1pm - 5pm for incoming grades 8-12, will focus on putting on a musical in all its aspects, giving students the opportunity to try choreography, costume design, lighting and sound, stage management, and set and prop design and construction in addition to performance. Our evening program, for ages 15-20, with rehearsals on Sundays and Tuesdays, will focus intensely on acting in both scene and song. Weekend programming will focus on workshop intensives and on non-musical plays.
