Description: Musical Theatre is, indubitably, America's greatest home-grown theatrical form and one of the major accomplishments of American culture.  From Carousel to Hadestown, Show Boat to Next to Normal, American musical theatre has defined, celebrated, and confronted our lives through song, dance, and dramatic character and action.  The skills, techniques and talent needed to effectively embody characters from the repertoire challenge actors and singers in startling ways. This is a workshop-format, performance-based course devoted to the development of skills--both dramatic and musical--for musical theatre.  We will take songs (and, potentially, scenes) from a range of musicals and explore them from a performer's point of view: investigating action, character, musicality, vocal technique, and more. The class follows a workshop model, with students performing material that is then critiqued and reworked.  Students may get to work on both contemporary and Golden Age repertoire in both solo/monologue format and, potentially, in scenes or duets. The class is intended for students with some background in musical theatre performance and is by audition only.
