Workshops

In addition to working with Broadway touring artists, we are also holding a series of workshops with professional, local artists throughout the year.

Bringing the Story to Life: Vocal Interpretation in Musical Theatre 

WHAT:

In this masterclass, students will explore how to use vocal dynamics, phrasing, and tone to enhance storytelling in musical theatre. Through guided exercises and song interpretation, participants will learn how subtle vocal choices can convey emotions, build tension, and bring characters to life. This session will focus on how to turn technical singing into powerful, emotionally-driven performances, helping students connect deeper with their material and audiences alike. Perfect for those looking to elevate their vocal storytelling!

Improv!

WHAT:

Some of the best training that an actor can have is Improv training. However, we always hear “Unscripted is scary!” or “I don’t know how to be funny”! In this workshop, learn the basics of Improv, play some fun games to work your imagination, and learn why this is a skill that will help you in every aspect of life and career!
