CLASS COMMUNICATION
For class communication we use a free app called BAND.
This is the place where important class-specific information, announcements, parent volunteer sign ups and upcoming events will be posted.
It's also where recordings, sheet music, choreography videos, performance dates, etc will be uploaded for at home rehearsal.
BAND also allows students and teachers to connect one on one. Students and/or parents can ask clarifying questions directly to their teachers and teachers will have everything posted in one place rather than having to look through several emails.

OFF BROADWAY
AGES 8-18
This fast-paced and fun performance class gives students the opportunity to work on the three essential disciplines that make up musical theater- singing, dancing and acting. Students will rotate through rehearsal focused classes in groups of same aged peers. Each group will learn at least one dance, one song and one scene, ending in a final showcase. Showcases at the end of the session are always free for family and friends! We recommend beginning/intermediate students who want to perform musical theater but don't necessarily have the time to commit to a main stage show to enroll in this class.

Tech Certificate Program
Students signed up for this class will have taken the basic theater tech class first. Students will meet twice a month with the Tech teacher to chat about their focus, what they have learned and for guidance in their field of interest. Students will then pick a focus for the next show that they can work on and they will shadow the professional designer for that show. Each student should have two credits (shows worked) in each technical theater focus, plus 3 additional credits of their choosing in Sound, Lights, Set/Scenic/Projections, Costumes, Stage Management, and Props. After completing a design shadow in a specific field, the student can then apply to design their own Broadway Jr. or Off Broadway showcase. After their 12 credits are completed (they could earn up to 5 credits a year if they want) they can then choose to specialize in a particular area for their remaining 3 credits. The program is completed when a student has 15 credits and will then ‘graduate’ with their technical theater certificate. This program looks great on a resume.
