Musical Theater Class Completes Showcase

March 1, 2021

This video is the final showcase from Trimester II's Musical Theater Class. The course began with an Audition Unit. Students prepared two selections and held a mock audition by performing in person and on Zoom. Based on their audition, the teachers, Katie Kreitzer (Theater) and Tyler Berg (Music) cast each student in one main role as well as several minor roles from a wide genre of musicals. Over Christmas break, the students were given one number to direct. Students researched the show, prepared their own staging ideas for their number, and were ready to teach their staging when we returned to school in 2021.

The students worked incredibly hard overcoming obstacles along the way including moving this final performance from a live showcase to a youtube video premiere due to sound issues. The class attended three student support sessions in order to get their work filmed. Above all, their show demonstrates their creativity and resilience.

Congratulations to this wonderful group of students: Billy Canter '23, Sarah Craighead '22, Anna Ek '23, Audrey Faison '21, Addison Keske '22, Karlie Reynolds '24, and Tavary Un '23. They deserve a full house with a standing ovation.
