“My Life: The Musical”

Students team up with a professional teaching artist to create and perform an original musical of their very own! Throughout the week, students build skill sets in acting, singing, and dance, and enjoy creative theatre games and improvisations that strengthen communication, collaboration, and imagination. They’ll brainstorm themes, craft the story, design the characters, and select or create songs— then bring their unique production to life! Culminates in a final presentation of their original musical for family and friends.
