Module Description:

The Musical Theater Program, provides students with an immersive, year-long creative journey that merges performance, storytelling, and cultural exploration. Students begin by studying a current musical, delving into its structure, themes, and characters. Then, in a transformative twist, they infuse the production with elements from their own cultures and countries, giving the musical a unique, personalized perspective. 

Throughout the year, learners will not only develop their acting, singing, and dance skills but will also explore costume design, set production, and script adaptation. By reimagining the musical through the lens of their cultural experiences, students gain deeper insight into their heritage and the universal power of storytelling. The program culminates in a live performance, showcasing their original take on a modern classic, leaving a lasting impact on their creative and personal growth.
