Ready to dive into long-form improv? Always wanted to be on an improv team? Or start one of your own? Long-form improv involves creating a continuous improvised piece (or series of pieces) inspired or based off a suggestion or idea. This advanced improv class will go beyond the basics of scene work and give you the tools to create 20 minute improv sets as a group. We’ll utilize structures such as The Harold to create the magic of a long-form improv set that leaves an audience thinking, “I can’t believe they made that up on the spot!” Students will work as a team to listen, build trust, get creative, and most of all - let loose and have fun!

A favorite of students grades K to 2 for many years, our Music Box Theatre class is expanding this year, with a pair of teachers working together as director and music director to provide more one-on-one focus and attention to students, create more challenging and creative staging, and add a bit more production value (minor set pieces, props, costumes, and stage lighting), so students have a better sense of what the experience of “putting on a show” may be like. Using song, character expression and choreographed movements and gestures as storytelling tools, students will assemble a mini-musical based upon a story or fable that they will perform for families on the final class. (A new mini-musical is explored each session for recurring students.) Students will be cast in various roles and provided with a script and recorded music tracks. The class will also include special craft projects which will be incorporated into their performance. All students must be available for their performance on the final date, March 12 (make-up dates in case of weather or emergency cancelations March 19 and 26).

Musical theatre singing is not just about vocal quality, but also character and storytelling as well. In this class, students will examine a few different Broadway numbers, not just building vocal technique and blending as an ensemble, but also exploring character choices and story line as well. Over the eight-week session, students will rehearse and stage their numbers, and perform them for families in a showcase during the final class date, March 12 (make-up dates in case of weather or emergency cancelations March 19 and 26). (Different musical selections are made each session for recurring students.)

This intensive study will focus in voice, dance, and acting for musical theatre performance, building and enhancing skills and confidence in each as well as helping students prepare for musical theatre auditions. With their instructors, they will develop pieces (an up-tempo song, a ballad, and monologue) to add to their audition repertoire, tackle choreography and handling dance auditions, and learn how to present themselves with confidence. The class will culminate in a very informal showcase on the final date, March 12 (make-up dates in case of weather or emergency cancelations March 19 and 26).

Strengthen vocal technique and breakdown songs to explore both their technical and storytelling components. Learn to interpret the underlying and hidden clues in the music that lead to discovery of character, objective, conflict, and emotionality, and develop pieces you can use for auditions, concerts, or cabaret performances. Students are welcome to bring in songs they are already working on or new songs they are interested in exploring. Song resources will also be made available to students. An informal recital at the end of the session is optional.
