Academy Musical

This year we will be staging “Joust! A Mighty Medieval Musical”, a fantastical romp featuring knights, wizards, damsels, and of course lots of musical fun!

This program is intended for students in grades 4 - 9 (past musical participants are always welcome), no previous vocal experience necessary.
There is a part for everyone!

Vocal Director: Keisha Mowchenko
Stage Manager: Erica McFadden

Students will be guided through the process of staging a musical, including learning an overview of the production, auditioning, working and rehearsing with their peers, proper vocal and musical theatre technique, helping to envision costuming, set, and props, and meeting with guest instructors to finesse their acting and choreography. At the end, we will stage our production over the final weekend of March for friends, family, and the public to enjoy!

Programming starts with a full-day retreat on Sunday, November 3rd, 10:00am - 3:00pm. Students will learn an overview of the production, get to know their peers, and immerse themselves in the world of musical theatre! All students will receive a part, possibly even two!
