Musical Theatre

The Community School’s Musical Theatre program is designed for students ages 14–18 who have a passion for singing, dancing, and acting. This is a program for the triple threat artist to deepen their skill level in voice, dance, and acting, and to provide the skills needed to seamlessly shift back and forth between the three. Our High School Musical Theatre program meets on Sundays 1–4:30 pm and helps to prepare serious Musical Theatre artists be competitive in an ever-growing field and prepares them for college auditions.

Our weekly workshop includes a full dance class that rotates jazz, modern and ballet dance throughout the year. This is followed by a two-hour session that concentrates on group song repertoire, acting, and choreography.  Musical Theatre students are instructed on how to connect detailed acting skills to the song and dance. The workshop presents two performances per year.
