MUSICAL THEATRE INTENSIVE

AUDITIONS: May 11, 4pm (Perform one musical theatre song and monologue. Bring sheet music in the appropriate key. An accompanist will be provided)

The Arts Club’s Musical Theatre Intensive is entering its 9th year of bringing high quality, professional training to young people with an interest in singing, dancing, and acting. Aimed at youth aged 12-19 years who are considering pursuing a theatre career, the Intensive exposes students to the kind of training that begins their journey toward becoming a ‘triple threat’ (actor/singer/dancer).

Professional instructors guide our students through voice, dance and acting techniques, with an emphasis on storytelling. We don’t just teach the notes of the song and the steps of the dance, we give our students the skills to understand the story, interpret it, and communicate their thoughts.

Beyond the practical application of these skills in the theatre, our students go away from the program having discovered more self-confidence, more respect for the talents and opinions of their peers, and a greater engagement with the world around them.

We aren’t just teaching kids how to sing and dance, we are asking them to put aside their fears and doubts, to believe in themselves, and to act (on and off stage) with passion and integrity. In other words, we aren’t just training performers—we are creating artists!
