Musical Theater Studio
Overview
Musical Theater Studio
Students take drama, vocal, and musical theatre dance classes with specific focus on tuning their physical instruments. The Musical Theatre students complete a rigorous four-year curriculum of vocal, acting and dance classes with an emphasis on acting through song and dance.
Musical Theatre majors are provided the opportunity to perform each year. The degree of student input and choice increases each year and by senior year, students will write, direct, choreograph, produce and perform in a devised Senior Showcase performance.

Current Sophomore Curriculum
ACTING AND VOCAL: We’ve spent the last few weeks choosing and rehearsing the Demonstrations piece the sophomores will perform in May. The song selection process is extensive and intentionally honors student choice.
The sophomores are also researching the American Roots of Musical Theatre in groups and will be presenting their findings on Vaudeville, Operetta and Burlesque in the next couple of weeks.
