POCKET BROADWAY 2.0!
POCKET BROADWAY SPRING WORKSHOP:
Taught by YMTC directors, Jennifer Boesing and Dave Moschler, this five week long workshop will break down the various steps involved in auditioning for, rehearsing for, staging and performing in a professional production. We will take the workshop participants through the entire process together using the first act of Stephen Sondheim's Into the Woods.
The workshop will take place on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons, from 4:00-6:30pm, starting on April 23rd. The fifth and final week-- the week of May 21st-- we will have a slightly different schedule, meeting on every day except Monday.
There will be two final works in progress performances for family and friends on Friday evening, May 25th at 7pm, and on Saturday, May 26th at noon.
Participants are accepted to the workshop on a first come first serve basis (class size limited to 20); no auditions necessary. But all participants will audition for their role in the musical and then learn the music, lines and staging throughout the process. Students will gain skills in auditioning for a professional musical production, techniques for learning music quickly, rehearsal etiquette, taking blocking notes, vocal technique, and developing character and relationships through the rehearsal process. All levels welcome; students will learn the skills consummate with their skill level.
At the end of the five weeks, students will demonstrate with a works-in-progress performances of the material, without sets or costumes and minimal lights, with a strong focus on excellent performances.
