MUS 449 - Musical Theatre Workshop/Showcase: Senior Level I

Institution:

Catholic University of America

Subject:

Description:

A course created to help senior musical theatre majors make the transition from students of musical theatre to active members of the professional theatre world. The senior year performance workshop moves away from exploring various musical styles toward recognizing the student¿s individuality by helping students realize their individual strengths; develop confidence; and demonstrate their own characteristics and personalities. Students must be prepared to display the abilities and talents that they have developed during their four years as musical theatre majors at CUA as they move on to audition, rehearse, and perform in professional situations. Throughout the year, the instructor advises the students on choosing proper songs to display their particular character types and vocal strengths; confers on career options and opportunities; offers suggestions and advice; and provides vocal coaching on their song selections. Class time is devoted to the rehearsal of group numbers, solos, and duets, gradually selecting and honing until the class arrives at a cohesive performance piece. The fall semester culminates with a public performance at CUA. The spring semester culminates with public performances in Washington and/or New York City. Members of the theatre industry are invited to attend this showcase. For senior musical theatre students or by permission of the instructor. Departmental consent.
