Calling all Storytellers and Actors, to join us in a multi aged class of delightful musical theatre madness! Students will engage in every corner of creativity, explore the fundamentals of musical theatre, practice our skills in ensemble building, and in doing so encourage each other to be brave fearless creative beings. Join our team of brilliant performers as we will delve into the art of musical theatre through songs, freeform movement and student-inspired choreography. The students will play pretend together, exploring the joys of acting out as we create a beautiful piece of theatre! Our final performance piece will be inspired and cultivated from the class work done by the students. Our gifted director Mary Albert will share her years of working with young thespians, to create a piece of theatre that encourages each student’s star to shine. In the spring of 2026 students will participate in the Different Directions Theatre Festival the first week of June held at The Theater for the New City. The final show will be complete with costumes, props and a set design by the Different Directions Theatre tech and art team. Actors will also have the opportunity to help with building sets, costumes and props at a time outside of class if they choose. This class meets every other Friday. In the spring during production week students will be ask to attend all scheduled rehearsals and performances. This is a performance class. Consistent attendance is a key component in a performance class. Students need to be a part of the complete process, relating to each other to foster trust and reliability, In addition students need to feel comfortable with the material, blocking, music and choreography that only happens when you are at rehearsal.
