Love to sing, dance and act? This is the program for you! Students will spend four weeks preparing to put on a musical! Auditions for roles will take place during week one and students must be available for the entire four-week program. Students will work on a Broadway Junior show and put on a full production. Get ready to sing and dance your way to Broadway!

Musical Theater Workshop (Two Week Session) for students entering grades 2-9

Acting is a great tool to build confidence, self-esteem and poise. In this course, actors play games, learn how to walk, talk and listen on stage. Improvisation, small scenes and monologues will be explored. Students will learn songs and scenes from a Broadway show. We will be singing and acting in this creative class as we prepare for a small performance on our last day! All students are encouraged to sign up for this course regardless of acting/singing experience. Bring your most fun and creative personalities to the stage and be ready to have lots of fun!

Organizers believe the month long program will be well-received by participants. All classes will be offered at Huntington High School.
