Sample Adult Musical Theatre Schedule
Week 1: Meet your instructor and your fellow classmates! In our first class, we start with some introductory exercises, talk about our term goals, and distribute materials.
Weeks 2-4: We work on our performance skills through dramatic exercises and activities, incorporating voice and movement. We also work towards our final performance by learning music, choreography, and blocking.
Weeks 5-8: We stage and polish our performance, using the techniques we’ve learned and our own understanding of characters and story. We work together and contribute our ideas to create an original performance.
Week 9: Dress rehearsal! We try on our costumes and practice our final performance with lights and sound before the audience arrives.
Week 10: Show time! With lights, props, and costumes, we showcase our skills in an ensemble performance featuring highlights from a popular musical. Students perform in our state-of-the-art Zlotnik Studio Theatre, with professional lighting and sound.
