BROADWAY PROS (Ages 12-15)
Mondays: 5:45 – 6:45
Teacher: Aimee Ferenz

The intensity of study grows as students at this level travel through the ages of Broadway Musicals learning dance combinations from different eras of musicals while also focusing on acting through song. This is great preparation for musicals at schools, community theaters and the Mainstage Center for the Arts Musical Theatre Company.

MUSICAL THEATER COMPANY (Age 12 and up)
Mondays: 7:00 – 8:30
Teachers: Aimee Ferenz & Lindsay Deal

This is a Musical Theatre performance based class where students will be working on a full-scale musical performance, which will be performed at the Dennis Flyer Theatre! This year’s Musical Theatre Company will perform the Broadway Musical “13” pending royalties and class size.  ( Please see prerequisite below)

**Students in the class that are not yet in high school must also be enrolled in Broadway Pros, Harmony Show Choir,  Showstopper Acting or Private Voice Lessons at Mainstage Center for the Arts.**

ACE YOUR AUDITION (Ages 13 and up) 
Thursdays: 6:15 – 7:15
Teacher: Courtney Bird 

This class is designed for those young performers who want to learn how to command a room and catch a director’s eye. Skills will include how to select, prepare and present the best audition material. Students will be encouraged to bring in the audition materials they need to prepare for school performances, or college and community theater auditions.
Professional actors and educators will occasionally be invited in to give additional feedback.
Being the best prepared at an audition is often the key to success.

ACTING COMPANY (Ages 13 and up)  
Thursdays: 7:15 – 8:45
Teacher: Courtney Bird 

This is a performance and skill based class geared to those students who want to strengthen their acting skills and have the opportunity to perform in fully staged non- musical plays.  Skills will include character development, improvisation, script analysis, and brave acting choices.  Two plays will be produced on January 13th and June 9th.

 

We also offer Private Lessons in Voice,  and Guitar.  
Please refer to our Private Lesson page.
