Young musical theatre actors will work with industry professionals to develop performance skills in acting, voice, and dance. Through the use of creative theatre games, vocal instruction, dance classes, and workshops, students learn practical skills they can apply to their performances. Actors will build confidence, character, self-esteem, and professional/leadership skills that will transfer to all aspects of their lives.
The Emmy Award-winning Saturday morning educational cartoon series and pop culture phenomenon is now the basis for one of the most fun and easily mounted musicals ever to hit the stage, Schoolhouse Rock Live! JR. This is an energetic musical, which follows Tom, a young school teacher, who is nervous about his first day of teaching. He tries to relax by watching TV when various characters representing facets of his personality emerge from the set and show him how to win his students over with imagination and music. Memorable songs as "Just a Bill," "Interplanet Janet" and "Conjunction Junction" bring his lesson plans vividly to life. Perfect for young performers of all ages and experience levels, Schoolhouse Rock Live! JR. is a surefire hit amongst actors and audiences alike.
