This course develops creativity and spontaneity in those students wanting to explore theatre, as well as those who wish to commit to a theatre program. Students create a portfolio or collection of their work and related activities that can grow as a result of subsequent theatre arts courses. Theatre Arts-Musical Theatre Concentration
Students concentrating in Musical Theatre will be trained in all three areas of musical theatre: music, theatre, and dance. The Musical Theatre concentration also provides considerable opportunities to audition for and participate in a wide variety of performing arts groups, including Music Theatre Ensemble and the annual musical and dramatic productions. Students are also exposed to professional guest artists and attend regional and national performances to expand their knowledge of the theatre arts. The Theatre Arts major prepares students for further study in college, conservatory, or specialized performing arts schools. Students who transfer continue their studies in voice, acting and dance, taking advanced courses in each area. Some of the advanced courses of study include Advanced Voice Study, Advanced Music Theory/Analysis, Advanced Jazz, Tap and Ballet, Musical Theatre Studio and Internship, Directing the Musical, and Theatre History. Students in the Musical Theatre field obtain careers as musical theatre performers/actors, dancers, singers, directors, choreographers, musical directors, voice, acting or dance teachers, accompanists, vocal coaches, and stage managers.
