  • THR 227: Musical Theatre for the Stage

    4.00 Credits
    Connecticut State Community College Asnuntuck

    Acquaints students with areas of musical theater including: mastery of script (music and lyrics); choreography; delivery of thematic material. Elements of theater such as line memorization, character portrayal, stagecraft (light, sound, set, costuming, stage management, publicity) will be stressed as well. All of this will result in live performances for the college community and the general public. Obviously, those students with demonstrated musical ability will find some of this easier to come by than some more inexperienced students. But, those less musically inclined, at least until this point, are welcome. You should be able to find a comfort zone within the context of this class. (4 hours studio required.) Satisfies the Fine Arts requirement. (Formerly COMM 195: Musical Theater.)
