About the Class

Musical Theater: Acting through Song is an introductory class focused on turning a song into a dramatic performance. You’ll begin by developing healthy singing habits to ensure vocal health and longevity. Working closely with an accompanist and the instructor, you’ll learn and perform a full musical theatre piece, focusing on how to analyze text, rhythm, and phrasing to bring the song to life as a cohesive scene. The experience culminates with you performing and recording your final song in the Alliance Theatre’s Black Box space to use in future reels.
