PERFORMING ARTISTS WORKSHOP

Each week the student studies voice, acting and musical theater dance with three faculty members skilled in each area. We feel that those students wishing to perform during their school years, pre-professionally, pursuing the arts in college or professionally would ultimately benefit from this program. No matter which of these three areas is your strong suit – every performer needs to be versatile enough to do all three! Sixteen weeks of workshop culminate in a performance !
