CAP Theatre Co. Spring Session: Broadway Workshop

Led by Chelsye Ginn

In-Person

This semester in theΒ CAP Theatre Company, young actors will dive into the dazzling world of Broadway musicals! Through theatre games and creative exercises, they will stretch their imaginations, bringing characters and stories to life through song, dance and acting. As they explore choreography and dive into vocal techniques, budding performers will discover new ways to express themselves.

Students will have exciting opportunities to explore excerpts from musicals and plays. Students will learn the fundamentals of acting, character development and how to tell a story through song. These rising stars will learn to shine in the spotlight and work together to create musical magic.

From show tunes to dance numbers, each activity is designed to boost confidence and nurture all-around theatrical talents. The young actors’ hard work will culminate in an end-of-class performance to demonstrate the skills they sharpened in this course!

Participation:
Each week, students should come to Musical Theatre wearing clothes and shoes that allow for comfortable movement. In order to keep the shared space clean, snacks are not permitted. However, bottled water is welcome and encouraged!

When students begin using scripts, they should bring their script and/or sheet music to every rehearsal. Students are also responsible for rehearsing their lines, songs and choreography at home. The more familiar they are with their performance material, the more confident they will feel performing in the showcase!

Performance Information:
The program culminates in a performance where students will present aΒ musicalΒ selection for family and friends. It’s the perfect opportunity for our young performers to demonstrate their newly acquired skills and share their passion for musicalΒ theatre.

"The Cathedral Arts Project Program has made a powerful impact on our 6th-grade students this year. By integrating theatre with writing instruction, the CAP teacher seamlessly blended performance and academics, boosting student confidence, collaboration, and creativity.
Students learned essential writing skills while building scripts, developing characters, and performing live. This approach not only fostered teamwork and social growth but also contributed to the highest ELA scores we’ve seen to date. We’re eager to see the writing scores this summer, as we expect continued growth. The final performances were a proud showcase of their hard work and a testament to how the arts can elevate student success in every way." - Site Administrator, River City Science Academy Intracoastal.

CAP’s arts integration programs offer schools and partner sites a unique approach to increasing students’ understanding of academic standards. In an arts-integrated curriculum, an art form – whether dance, music, theatre or the visual arts – is used as a tool for learning one or more academic subjects.
