What your child’s day will look like
In this class, students will develop their talents and grow their skills to become stand out triple threats! Throughout the semester, students will grow their foundational skills of acting through song and dance, expand their musical theatre auditioning skills, explore what makes the genre of musical theatre so special, attend a live musical performance (optional), learn and perform choreography as well as large and small group musical numbers. Students will receive large group and individualized feedback on their work throughout the class. The final performance of this class would be a showstopping cabaret with selections of work from the semester! No prior experience required, just a positive attitude and willingness to learn!

My girls have really enjoyed Musical Theater. The coaching by Mr. Sauder and student teachers has been a great introduction into theater.

The class was great! It seemed like all of the children were assigned parts that fit them well. Our family really enjoyed the show. It would help our family a ton if we didn't have to get to a class that starts at 9 a.m. though ... it's really too early for those of us who travel to get to TCHA. It is miserable to deal with school buses and rush hour after we hurried through our morning; it makes it the exact opposite of what homeschooling should be like (especially on Wednesdays when we are out late for church, too).
