Winter 2025 Class: Acting for Adults

Acting for Musical Theater 12-18: Ms. Madisen It is so important for our actors in musical theater to tell a story. The dialogue is critical for the audience to follow the story along with the dancing and singing. This class will explore ways to use those moments of dialogue in any production to help with the integrity of the show. Come and explore the opportunity to use dialogue correctly, especially in musicals. Thursday 7:00-9:00

Musical Theater Dance 8-11: Ms. Kaylee Kaylee is a practiced alumni of CYT/ CTAP and she is a wonderful dancer. She also knows the importance of how good dancing can change the quality of any show. Whether you are a mover or a full-on dancer, every cast member is important when it comes to representing the theater production in which you are involved. Come dance with us and learn how exciting Musical Theater Dance can be as you learn and practice the techniques that make you feel more confident when your choreographer is teaching you the moves you need to replicate for a show. Call backs for dance are so much easier if you have a little more skill. Oh! Did I mention it’s fun!!! Tuesday 4:30-6:30

The Art of Singing for Musical Theater 13-18: Mr. Danny If you are feeling like your voice is strong, but sometimes you want more from your song, this is a great class. You will be learning a couple of pieces for showcase that will give you a more well-rounded idea of presentation and how to accomplish that on your own. Singing in a group where everyone is invested is the greatest feeling. The ensemble is what makes the musical theater program, whatever it is, really stand out. With each person working hard to accomplish the same goal and seeing it to fruition is very exciting. Tuesday 4:30-6:30

Middle School Madness 11-14: Ms. Jennifer This class is going to be an acting class that hopefully keeps these kids thinking and on their feet. They will be performing an eight-minute play that they will be memorizing and rehearsing throughout the session. Through our time together, we will be learning how and what it means to be an actor who thinks on their feet, shares each other’s space and knows how to learn and listen to their peers, as they are learning to command the stage. This age group is the next generation of performers who need to prepare for main stage productions. Let the curtain rise on all the fun. Tuesday 4:30-6:30

Advanced Acting 13-18: Mr. Jeff This is a course on advanced acting techniques! In this course, we will dive into the heart of acting by shifting our focus away from ourselves and onto our fellow actors through the Sanford Meisner technique, as well as the art of “endowed objects” and how to convincingly bring your props to life for an audience. Because we will be covering different techniques each session, you are more than welcome to take this class more than once, as you will build on skills already learned previously and learn new ones as well. These techniques will help you respond more naturally and authentically on stage. And of course…there will be Whoosh Ball. Thursday 4:30-6:30
