SING-DANCE-ACT AND MUCH MORE!"

The Music Shop's Musical Theatre Workshops combine vocal, dance, and acting training with audition technique and performance preparation. We provide fun and educational performance opportunities for all students, whether novice or experienced. Each of our Weekly Workshops are full-day, intensive programs consisting of classes involving all aspects of musical theatre and culminating in a live performance. Our Advanced Workshop is a three-week all-inclusive program from casting to staging a full-length musical production.

As part of The Music Shop's Musical Theatre Workshops, students will build character, creativity, and confidence while having the time of their lives...

"It is a great place to make new friends, learn new talents, and have a great time. All the teachers are wonderful, especially Kaitlin who inspires everyone in some form or way. This program inspired me to go to college for theatre!" - Alix, 17

"The Musical Theatre Workshops at The Music Shop prove to be more amazing every summer! My daughter has grown not only in musical and acting talent, but in her self-confidence and teamwork skills as well. Kaitlin and all the talented teachers make the workshops so much fun that the kids look forward to each day of working together and never think twice about stage fright or forgetting lines. Great learning whether your child loves performing or simply wants to learn more about what it takes to put a show together." (And I mean every word of it!) --Mary Lou DeCaprio

"My daughter enjoyed the 2008 summer theatre workshops so much she wants to do it again this summer! Not only was it fun but it taught her about the theater and boosted her self confidence. Kaitlin and the staff are wonderful and give each child individual attention." - Laura Davidson "The Music Shop's Musical Theatre Workshops are AWESOME!!! You sing, act, dance, and even learn about music itself! Everyone gets a chance to show their talent and shine in the spotlight.
