Spring 2025 Class: Tap for Teens 12-18

Musical Theater 8-11: Ms. Kaylee Everyone loves musical theater; and as you know, CTAP is all about it. If you have taken our entry-level classes - Your Time to Shine, Monologues, or Triple Threat - you are invited to join us to learn more about how to be expressive on stage and have the experience of what musical theater can be. During your time in this class, you will learn so much about presentation and storytelling through music and dance. The skills are so valuable for this program. Come join the fun! Tuesday 4:30-6:30

Improv Coming to Life 12-18: Ms. Brittny If you have taken two improv classes and you enjoy learning the skill, please sign up for this class. Learning the proper way to exhibit improv skills will help you in the future to be better game players. It can also help you with your acting in every other genre. If you like learning as you laugh, please join us. We would love to create a team that could compete with other improv teams. This class will be the beginning of that journey. Please know we need you to take it seriously while having fun. *You must have taken the improv class previously to sign up* Thursday 4:30-6:30

Singing Harmonies: 8-12 Danny Lybeck: This class gives our young voices an opportunity to hear what harmony sounds like and sing with a group. The skill is invaluable, especially in ensemble work. To be the performer who can sing more than one part and hear the difference between parts as you learn them is such a gift. If you have taken a music class before, this can be an extension of what you have learned. Please come and be a part of this class, especially if you are interested in more vocal training. Thursday 4:30-6:30

Act Out Loud!: 10-15 Tracy Sharp and Josie Pruitt: This class is such a great place to practice your skill as an actor, as well as memorizing a monologue and putting your best foot forward in discovering how much fun characterization can be. You will learn how to make a character come alive so that you can show the audience a new side of you. It is so fun to have people get to experience your new creation for the stage and forget that it is you! Keeping your monologue as a part of your resumé for future experiences is a plus. Not trying to scramble for an acting piece makes your audition process so much less stressful. Your teachers will also have some great games to play as you explore what acting is all about. Tracy is excellent at choosing just the right material for each student so that you feel comfortable, and having Josie with you to help you hone your skills is a plus. So much fun!!!! Tuesday 4:30-6:30

The Reason We Sing (Choir): 12-18 Danny Lybeck: Delighted to offer this class! It is so important for you as performers to learn how to sing as an ensemble and harmonize as a group, rather than just one or two overshadowing the rest. It is so beautiful when we sing as one. It teaches professionalism and teamwork. Danny is an excellent teacher and is offering a skill we should all want to procure. If you have taken a “class like this” before, please know that vocal training is an ongoing process. From a bit of sight reading music to singing parts in harmony, we encourage you to be a part of the CTAP choir. Learning to sing in a group to create a beautiful sound and being introduced to some basic sightreading is just part of what makes this class magic! Sign up today!! Thursday 7:00-9:00

Thank Heaven for the ‘50s -- Dance That Is: 12-18 Kaylee Cook: The ‘50s was a time that gave off a vibe of carefree fun, and the music was all part of the culture that encouraged that fun. Come and learn some dance steps that will be sure to delight you and help you with movement for all types of dancing. This is a class where you can gain confidence for your next mainstage production by just learning new moves and having fun. Let’s hear it for the Lindy, jitterbug and all types of rock and roll that are in the archives and ready to be dusted off and practiced. Make sure that you have a dance class in your past before you sign up to rock the night away. Thursday 4:30-6:30

Advanced Acting: 12-18 Brittny Hylkema: For those of you who often wonder how your skills are culminating and where to go next in your study of acting, this class will really help with awareness and growth. So often, during a show rehearsal, we would love to review scenes with you, but timing is always an issue. In this class, you will have the opportunity to hone in on small changes that would give you more confidence and make you a better actor. This class is going to offer some skills that will help you feel more confident in your acting abilities. Those of you who know Miss Brittny know you are in for some awesome training and amazing fun. Thursday 7:00 - 9:00

Tap: 8-11 Autumn McCall:  We will be asking anyone who might want to tap in Mary Poppins to give this class a try. If you have not tapped before or if you have, this class will be a fun review or an awesome start on a new dance journey. Thursday 4:30-6:30

Musical Theater Ensemble Tells the Story: 12-18 Jenna Augustine: If you have been with us for a while or you come from another venue where you have been acquiring vocal and dance experience for storytelling, this class is for you. We often forget how storytelling during a show can be the key to unlocking true understanding for audience members. The group numbers are designed to guide you from one chapter to another. From facial expression to body movement on stage, the audience is counting on you to tell the story. Jenna has directed and participated in many shows and enjoys creating those stage pictures that we often don’t forget. Be ready to work and have fun! Tuesday 4:30-6:30

Actors Unlimited: Ms. Kelsey This unique class is for our differently abled individuals aged 18 and above who love to sing, dance and perform. Our amazing Mrs. Kelsey leads this class with enthusiasm and joy. Participants work on articulation, singing, dancing, movement, and stage presence. Tuesday 4:30-6:30

Little Rascals 5-7: Ms. Lisa Little Rascals is a beginning class for children ages 5-7 who want to have some fun singing, dancing and learning about performing.
