Sprouts Musical Make-Believe   Summer 2020

Each month Sprouts work on a different mini play that includes music, songs, dance, simple lines to memorize, and lots of fun costumes!

Students will help write their own scripts and dialogue, using costumes and props to inspire each unique storyline. The last class of each month will include a performance on stage in the theatre for parents to enjoy.

Singing, dancing, flexibility, balance, rhythm, musical instruments, props, rhyming, following patterns, cooperative social interaction, self-expression, and much more. This is a great introduction to the world of theatre. With a "Once Upon A Time" themed musical show at the end of the 10 week course, this class is sure to be the highlight of your child's week.

This interactive ride through the world of children's literature takes one great book every week, mixes in a master storyteller, props, puppets, songs, finger plays, reenactments, themed crafts and games and you have... The ultimate story time experience!

Acting

Acting for the Stage 

​

Parents are always amazed when they see the depth of character that can emerge from their child when anxiety is replaced with confidence and creativity is given a place to grow. An actor breathes life into characters and places that would otherwise be merely words on a page. This course is designed to help students find that power within themselves and encourage each other in the process. From learning stage directions and theatre terminology, to the the excitement of performance night, this class will cover everything in between and then some. Students will practice their craft with weekly assignments as well as performing a complete play or a variety of scenes (depending on semester) on our stage with lights, body mics, costumes, props, and more at the end of the semester.

Summer 2020   iMovie Making 

This course takes students outside the box (or the stage, in this case) and introduces them to an entirely different genre of acting. Using simple iPhone and iMovie filming and editing techniques, instructors will guide students though the process of making mini movies and trailers. From concept to storyboard to shooting scenes, this class is the ultimate creative outlet. At the end of the 12 week course, students will host a film festival for family and friends showcasing their projects.  Apple devices are not required of students.  

 Ages 8-18 yrs

Musical Theatre   

​

Classes start the week of August 12th

Wicked, Annie, Newsies, The Lion King, Hairspray, Grease, West Side Story…the list of fabulous musicals goes on and on. Musical Theatre combines singing, dancing, and acting to create a multidimensional art form like no other. This is THE class for kids who love to perform—even if it’s only in front of the bathroom mirror. Our instructors understand the importance of nurturing even the smallest spark of interest in the shyest of children when it comes to getting on stage in front of an audience. All levels of experience are welcome in this class and every student will be cast in the class musical each semester. Along with rehearsing the show, a portion of each week’s 2 hour class will be dedicated to theatre education. Theatre terminology and etiquette, stage directions, theatre history, script and character analysis, acting techniques, and much more will become part of your child’s experience in our musical theatre program. We want all of our students to become better performers with each semester of instruction, and are committed to making the most of every minute your child spends in class with us.

Musical Theatre 

classes start Aug 14th

We are so excited to announce this brand new class tailored specifically to our younger Seedling students. This semester, kids ages 4-9 will be able to build their acting, singing, and dance skills while working on an end-of-semester performance that incorporates not only major songs from Disney's "Frozen", but musical numbers and scenes from other favorite stage and movie productions. This class encourages students to work as a team on group musical numbers, yet also allows more opportunities for solo parts and casting of favorite characters. Students in the Jrs and the Sprouts class will collaborate on a final performance that will be developed and built throughout the 6 month course, progressing at a pace set by the kids themselves. This will also allow time in class for skill building games and activities essential to their growth as a performers.
