Middle School (upcoming 6th-8th grades):
Finding the Arc of a Character: “The Wizard of OZ” (Young Performers Edition)
How does a character change from the beginning of a story to the end? It’s an actor’s job to figure that out. For the first time ever, this show is available in a student form with the music from the original MGM film. So grab your ruby slippers and your Tin Man’s ax and come along for a magical trip!

Tuition

Musical Theatre workshops always cost a little more than Spring/Fall due to extra cost of musical materials (cd’s and books) and extra staffing needed (ie choreographers, musical directors). Mutliple siblings receive +10% off for each subsequent student.
