Musical Theatre

Musical Theatre combines songs, spoken dialogue, acting and dance.  The story and emotions of a musical are communicated through the words, music and movement of the production. Some examples of famous musicals include Showboat, West Side Story, Grease, The Wiz, Phantom of the Opera and Beautiful.

In Musical Theatre classes, students will learn singing, dancing and acting all in the Broadway style.  Students will learn how to convey emotions through the words and movement of the music.  In addition, they will learn the art of Pantomime, acting without using words, and Improvisation, acting without the use of a script.  They will also participate in different improvisation exercises such as "never say no" and joining the action of a scene without changing it.
