Learn vocal techniques, music theory, timing, and harmony
-
Practice choreography and stage movement
-
Build acting skills through games, improvisation, and storytelling
-
Discover behind-the-scenes elements like costumes, lighting, sound, props, and scenic design
Each session culminates in a musical theatre showcase performed in the Studio Theatre for family and friends.
