SENIOR MUSICAL THEATRE (age 14-19)
Members work towards the production of a Musical that will be performed at the beginning of the summer term. The first term usually focuses on stage/craft skills as well as a considerable amount of singing. This term will also be used to determine the solo parts. The second term focuses on the actual production of the musical (staging / music). After an intensive rehearsal week culminating in the performance(s) of the show in the third term, participants work towards taking part in a ‘Cabaret Evening’ (as a group or soloists) and further develop aspects of the theatre / music world like auditioning for example.
Rehearsals are on Tuesdays from 7.00 – 8.30pm
JUNIOR MUSICAL THEATRE (age 10-14)
Principally the same structure as the Senior Musical Theatre group but aimed at a younger age-range. The show in the summer term will in most cases not be a full musical, but excerpts or a more ‘Moulin Rouge’ style production where participants are very much involved in the creation of the final product themselves. The performance will be on the same night and on the same stage as the Senior Musical Theatre. Members of the Junior Musical Theatre group will be given a very good foundation for transition into the Senior group.
