Summer Musical Theatre Workshops

June 12th through June 23rd, 2006

The Broadway Performer

Cresson Lake Playhouse is offering a two-week course for young adult performers ages 6 and older, designed to build upon young aspiring actors' performance and auditioning skills through master class settings (open forum performances with critique of peers and instructor), class instruction, and group performance. Areas of instruction will include: Acting (song, monologue, and scene interpretation), Singing (vocal functioning/technique and vocal health), and Auditioning technique and etiquette. Each student will be given the opportunity to perform several times during the class. The workshop will conclude with a final collaborative "Broadway Performers' Showcase" to be held on the last day of the workshop. This performance will consist of solos, duets, monologues, short scenes and a group vocal performance piece.

Classes will run Monday through Friday 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. The classes will be held at the Cresson Lake Playhouse in the Rehearsal Hall, 526 West Ogle Street, Ebensburg, Pa 15931. The final day of the workshop will be held at CLP’s Historic Theatre located in Cresson, Pa.
