This weekly theater class gives performers the chance to work in a small group environment and receive individualized instruction that will enhance their skills as a musical theater perfomer! 

Our class includes fun drama games, imagination, and activities as we focus on Matilda The Musical. We'll learn iconic songs, scenes, and dances from this energetic and witty musical, and work on putting together a small showcase for the final day of class. 

Throughout our weeks together we will learn the basics of acting, including monologues, and hone our music skills through exercises in rhythm, pitch, and melody.
