Limited EngagementAt some point in your theatre career you will be cast in a reading or work-shop, so get your feet wet here! In this class we will rehearse a full musical for just a few short weeks, and end in an invited workshop performance of the show with scripts in hand. No sets, no costumes. The challenge in this work is finding a way to bring the same energy, enthusiasm and focus that you would for a full production. Class culminates in an invited reading.
