Class Description:
Showstoppers is the ideal choice for young people who are ready to commit to a more rigorous musical theatre-based rehearsal and performance process.
Students in this class will meet for an hour-and-a-half twice a week from September to April (not including a winter break). During that time, the cast of Showstoppers will learn skills like audition preparation, rehearsal etiquette, behind-the-scenes artistry, and – of course – they’ll learn their show!
In doing so, elements of performance like acting, scene work, memorization, choral singing, solo/small group singing, and dance will be heavily emphasized. Students will understand and practice singing in parts (harmony and melody).
Youth will identify the roles of a director, music director, and choreographer as part of a rehearsal and performance practice. The curriculum of this class also includes developing communication and collaboration skills for the theatre like dependability, cooperation, and teamwork.
This intermediate-level is the next stage of learning for students who have completed at least one year of SPARC programming.
