Triplethreat Saturday Slam

(Singing, Acting, Dancing – 3 hrs – for ages 7-10, 11-14, 15-18 year olds)

The Slam provides students the opportunities to study with our Guest Stars from Broadway. This gives students the experience of what it is like to rehearse as a real professional, switching between focuses, working on singing, acting and dancing all in the same day, just like the professionals when they put together a real show.

Dramatics

(7-10 year olds)

Working on drama skills, improvisation skills and character skills through theater games and exercises, the students will gain confidence and knowledge to carry them through life, be it in or out of the theater.

Drama

(Adult – Beginners, Advanced)

The beginner’s class allows adults the chance to explore the world of acting as a novice just for the fun of it. The advanced class is geared more for the advanced or professional who would like to get back to honing their performing skills using techniques from Alexander to Stanislavsky.

Acting

(I & II 11-14, Acting III & IV 15-18)

Classes designed around classic techniques established by master teachers (Stanislavsky, Meisner, Strasberg, Alexander) tailored to singing actors at both the beginning and advanced levels. Classes grouped according to age, experience and prerequisite skills.

Dance

(I 7-10, II 11-14, III 14-18)

We want you to be well rounded and well versed in all forms of dance. Thus throughout each session our dance classes will work on all focuses used on the Broadway stage (Jazz, Tap, Modern, Ballet, Lyrical).

Group Voice

Group lessons are designed for the younger student to help with technique, ear training, sight singing and overall confidence. Students are grouped according to age and ability.

Preschool Day Class

(Broadway Babies 2-6 Year Olds)

Daily classes that foster what children naturally do: role play, sing, dance, act, etc. This class is structured towards the enhancement of arts education and training in the development of preschoolers.

Home School Theater Workshop

The workshop is designed to provide the home school population performing arts classes and performing opportunities. Students will learn all aspects of theater production from singing, acting and dancing, to directing, stage managing, and set, lighting and costume design.

Shining Stars

(Special Needs)

Through creative drama and movement based in music, children and people with special needs can develop self-esteem and confidence and experience the thrill of performing in a way only Music Theater can provide.

The Broadway Body

(Adult)

Why step up and down on a board or pedal a stationary bike when you can dance your way into shape with this choreography based workout that takes you through your favorite Broadway show routines. So you don’t think you can dance? You can still enjoy this class no matter your skill level. So come and dance (and sing) your body into shape like you’re a real Broadway dancer.

Pilates

(Adult)

Pilates is an innovative system of mind-body exercise that transforms the way your body looks, feels and performs, building strength without excess bulk, creating a sleek, toned body. Pilates teaches body awareness, good posture and easy, graceful movement, while improving flexibility, agility and economy of motion.

Summer Music Theater Comprehensive Camp

(3 week comprehensive) (ages 7-10, 11-14, 15-18)

An intense three weeks. We bring in guest Broadway stars to teach you virtually everything you can imagine from singing, dancing and acting, to on-camera and commercial work, stage combat, make-up, improvisation, directing, and set and costume designing. Not only will the camp culminate with a student workshop production but students will also be automatically cast in our Theatre Company production.

Winter Intensive Camp

(10 day intensive) (ages 7-10, 11-14, 15-18)

Like our Summer Camp, this camp provides the same studies but over a shorter period of time. This winter offering also culminates with a brief workshop presentation and automatic casting in our Winter/Fall Theatre Company production.
