Sing & Dance: Six! (Ages 9-12)
This double whammy class focuses equal parts on voice and dance in the context of contemporary musical theatre. This semester, we have chosen to theme our class to a particular show: Six! We may stage scenes with dialogue, assign solos, and of course, sing and dance as a group. This class can serve as a great place to start for the musical theatre curious, a nice supplement for a seasoned performer’s weekly rotation, or a fun place for a Six fan to just let loose and have fun. We will choose a Six song to polish and perform for our Spring Showcase. Can’t make the performance? No problem. We still want you to sing and dance with us!
**Six contains some mature content. We will keep our class content squeaky clean, but be advised that if students look up show materials on their own, they may encounter mature themes.**
Tuition: $400, or $100/month for four months
Acting On Stage (Ages 9-14)
This class will focus solely on acting for the stage, no singing or dancing at all. We will work on partner scenes, group scenes, and monologues, learning the basics of how to create unique characters, relationships, objectives, and settings. This class is also offered right before rehearsals for our spring musical, so it’s a great chance to double up! Our actors are invited to perform their scenes in our Spring Showcase at the end of the semester. Can’t make the performance? No problem. We still want you to act with us!
Tuition: $400.00, or $100/month for four months
Strictly Improv! (Ages 10-14)
This class is all improv, all the time! Students will learn a variety of techniques and principles unique to improv, and each class is sure to end in hilarity. This class is offered right between our two scripted acting classes, so it would be a great opportunity for our actors to double up! Our Strictly Improv students will perform a completely improvised selection in our Spring Showcase at the end of the semester. Can’t make the performance? No problem. We still want you to improvise with us!
Tuition: $400, or $100/month for four months
Sketch Comedy (Ages 10-14)
Think of Sketch Comedy as Improv with a script. Following the traditions of Saturday Night Live, Mad TV, and the Second City, students will learn how to write and perform in their own sketches! The beauty of sketch comedy is that it can include any element of theatre. Do we have a stellar singer in the group? Let’s add a musical number! Do we have someone interested in magic? Add a magician character to the sketch! Circus performers? Hang them from the ceiling on aerial silks! Just kidding about that last one…unless someone knows how to do that? Rather than participate in our Spring Showcase, our sketch performers will participate in a comedy variety show at Big Couch Improv Theatre at the end of the semester! Can’t make the performance? No problem, you’ll still get all the value of learning how to sketch just by showing up week to week.
Tuition: $450.00, or $112.50/month for four months
Acting On Camera (Ages 9-14)
One of our most popular classes is BACK! After taking a break in favor of a play this fall, we are bringing back the movie magic!! In this class, actors will rehearse, film, and even participate in writing 1-3 short films. At the end of the semester, we will screen our films at The Broad Theater, complete with popcorn and candy! While we haven’t chosen the content for our films yet, in the past we have done recreations of famous scenes from popular movies, written our own original murder mysteries, filmed a trailer for a fictional reality show, filmed commercials for fictional products, and even filmed a 90% improvised Mockumentary in the style of Christopher Guest.
Tuition: $450.00, or $112.50/month for four months
Something Rotten JR (Ages 11-16)
This is what it’s all about…musicals! Come participate in a fully staged musical just for Broadway Bound kids. Each weekly “class” is a rehearsal, and we will perform our show at the end of the semester. Attendance is very important, since everyone has an important role to play in making our show great.
**PLEASE NOTE** We will ask our actors to attend 2 longer Saturday rehearsals. These dates will be sent out at the beginning of the semester in January.
Tuition: $450.00, or $112.50/month for four months
