What separates a good musical theatre performance from a truly compelling one?

In this six-week course, students will explore The 5 Pillars of Musical Theatre Performance™, a practical framework for analyzing and performing musical theatre repertoire with clarity, specificity, and emotional truth. Through guided analysis and performances, participants will learn how to break down a song from the inside out using both text and music to make intentional, story-driven choices.

Each class is divided between group analysis of assigned listening/reading material and optional student performances. Participants are encouraged to bring in their own songs each week and learn how to apply new concepts in a supportive, low-pressure environment.

The course culminates in a celebratory “Finale Day”, where students may choose to share a fully realized performance integrating all five pillars.

This in person class takes place at Lambertville Hall, 57 Bridge St, Lambertville, NJ.
