Broadway Workshop is an eight-week Saturday morning or afternoon class in which aspiring artists (ages 9-12) develop self-confidence, character and collaborative skills through the exploration of the Musical Theatre art form.
Led by professional teaching artists, students are immersed in a singing, acting and dancing creative process through the rehearsal of a musical number and scene from a Broadway show. Theatre games, improvisational activities and role-playing add energy and fun to the experience.

What to Expect in Class
During our eight Saturdays together, students will a focus on “process” over “performance” as they explore the fundamentals of Musical Theatre:
Acting: Character development through creativity and context clues.
Choreography: Storytelling through movement exploration and foundational dance pillars.
Music: Introduction to sight reading with a focus on ensemble singing and vocal dynamics.
Staging: Learn how to take direction, blocking notes, and apply feedback.
Our final day of the program is an “open class” where parents and guardians are invited to peek inside the rehearsal process by observing the students and instructors in the studio, followed by a Q&A with the creative team.
