The Art of Musical Comedy

An afternoon program for students ages 7-13 at the Newton Cultural Center, 225 Nevada Street. Mondays – Thursdays, June 25 – July 12, 1:00 – 3:00pm (no class July 4th) $225.  In this exciting, new afternoon program, students learn what it takes to be a master of the art of musical comedy performance. Students will hone their acting skills with improv and theater games, used by such illustrious theater companies as Chicago’s Second City. They will learn to sing and dance their favorite show tunes, from shows ranging from “The Sound of Music” to “Wicked.” This will culminate, at the end of the program, in a Broadway-style cabaret performance of these songs for family and friends.
