Students in Intro to Musical Theater will form an understanding and an appreciation of musical theater as an artform, and will develop skills in acting, improvisation, voice, movement, audition technique, stagecraft, and performance. Students will also gain a deeper knowledge of theater’s history and its place in America’s cultural landscape.  The course is open to any student wishing to improve in these areas or with an interest in performing.  Though not a course requirement, students are strongly encouraged to take part in the fall play and spring musical, either as a member of cast or crew.  Additional performance opportunities may include a fall cabaret, a holiday recital, or other showcase-type events.
