Broadway Troupers

The phrase “a real trouper” refers to a team player who readily rises to any challenge.

Our Broadway Troupers class is geared for young performers, aged 7–9.

Using material from Broadway musicals, this class shows budding performing artists how to express themselves clearly and confidently through song and story.

Students will gain an appreciation for and an awareness of great Broadway music and lyrics, as each student hones their unique personal style to make a song their own.

The class concludes with a recital on the weekend of January 25th and 26th.

Join us, and become “a real trouper”!
