Lottery Open NOW until Wednesday, August 21, 2024 (announcement of lottery results will be emailed no later than August 23, 2024)
If you can speak, you can sing. If you can move your body, you can dance. Singing and dancing are inherent in us all. How you get good at it is through training and practice. During the next couple of months, we will be doing what we don’t generally get a lot of time during a production to do. You will be split into groups. Your group will meet 4 hours every week. You will work with this same group collaborating on musical theater numbers as well as scene work to put on a Showcase at the Ritz theater.
You will get professional voice coaching and techniques on how to strengthen your voice and sing your very best. You will learn tips and tricks on how to do your best audition and callback. You will be able to understand what it takes to choreograph a routine. You will learn what it takes “behind the scenes” to put a production together and have the opportunity with your group to design your props and costumes for the Showcase.
If you ever wanted to grow your skills in musical theater, this class is for you! I am so excited about this opportunity and I hope you will join us!
For more information and to sign up click HERE.
Use this link to pay online https://square.link/u/GesgBWiF or you may bring exact cash or check payable to TCA to the first day of class on August 26th.
