Class Description: This class is for students with an interest in acting and public speaking, with a focus on musical theatrical performance. Students will be introduced to theatre terminology, gain knowledge of stage and audience etiquette, and develop performance skills, working on believable emotions through dialogue and character development. Students will work to hone vocal technique (projection, enunciation, diction, pacing, etc.) to make their performance the best it can be, as well as address improvisation and ad lib skills needed when performances don’t go exactly as planned. Through various games and exercises we will work on memorization skills, as well as teamwork and relationship-building, learning to assist cast members with lines, cues, etc. Students will also learn some confidence-building techniques which will help develop their public-speaking skills. Students will showcase their performances with a musical at the end of the year.
