Working with theatre professionals in a supportive class setting, students will feel more confident in their abilities to perform in a theatre piece and work with other cast members to create an ensemble.

Boys, girls – Gleek or not – you're all invited to join our Glee Club and be directed in singing and dancing to some of the great music from the hit TV series Glee, as well as some of your favourites from the pop charts, musical theatre and Broadway. With interesting and exciting choreography that even the "rhythmically challenged"will learn, students will sing, dance and act as part of a choreographed show cast! Dancing, acting and singing can boost confidence and help children discover their hidden talents. More importantly, it's a fun way to learn performance techniques. At the end of every term, "Gleeks" will have the opportunity to showcase their work to friends and family! So come and develop the performer in you!

Musical Theatre (Gr. 1-8)

Using improvisation, drama exercises, vocal and movement studies and script work, young performers will learn how to perform specifically for musical theatre and develop and work on a presentation as a final performance.
