to performance techniques in musical theatre. Learn how to stand, what to do with
your hands, and where to look. Learn how to communicate with your audience as
you tell a story and how to do choreography to music. This is a workshop of song,
dance and a lot of challenges as you learn and prepare for a performance of a
children’s musical reprise on Saturday afternoon! There will be a Saturday morning rehearsal
