Performance Workshops
Performance Workshop students go through the entire process of putting on a musical from auditions to performance. Students will learn dialogue, music and choreography in preparation to perform a full scale or junior style show.
The Performance Workshops come in multiple levels based on age group and experience.
Our Performance Workshops are inclusive, and we accept all students regardless of performance background until the workshop fills. Previous Performance Workshop productions include; Xanadu, Carrie, Godspell, Legally Blonde, Urinetown, Curtains, You're a Good Man Charlie Brown, and many more.
Shapeshifters, a Queer Comic Book Musical
Shapeshifters, written by Truth Future Bachman, is a music-theatre multiverse dedicated to LGBTQ+ superheroes. Using the lens of superhero science fiction, Shapeshifters encourages young queer and trans participants, and their allies, to consider what “others” them as their super power, and is equal parts entertainment, education, and empowerment.
The show is still being work-shopped following a presentation at Joe’s Pub in NYC. This student production for ages 11-21 is part of the pilot development process and will include the making of a short documentary as record of the show’s growth. Students will also have opportunities to create stext to be incorporated into the show. This is an amazing opportunity to be part of the making of a new musical!
Performances are August 11-13, 2023. Audition information coming soon!
