Classes
Musical Theatre
If you long to be a triple threat like your favorite singer-dancer-actor, or you can recite every line from Hamilton, or Dear Evan Hansen, Musical Theatre is the class for you! In this exciting class, acting techniques are applied to vocal techniques, creating well-rounded artists within a group setting. With the emphasis on considering a song as a monologue set to music, students will work on all three areas of musical theatre. Acting, singing, and dance. Miss Olivia will teach students scenes, song, blocking, and choreography from various shows throughout the semester. Students are invited to perform in our December and June recitals. Students are introduced to different styles and genres of musical theatre. From Wicked to Grease, Annie to Footloose, The Little Mermaid to High School Musical… and MORE; this class will help your child build their self-confidence and master the art of auditioning for, and performing in, musicals.

Lorna = the reel deal! Amazing. We loved the process from start to finish, including all of the expert advice on everything – from scene selection, to wardrobe and everything in between. First class experience!

Lorna Brunelle is stupendous at making reels! When preparing she helped me identify pieces which showcased my best qualities. Lorna knew exactly what I needed to improve, and how to improve it. The complete experience of making a reel with Lorna is catered to you and how you want your reel to look. Lorna is an incredibly helpful, considerate, fun, and dynamic person. I highly recommend making a reel with Lorna! I love mine!!!
