SPAA Believes in Giving Back...
The Musical Theatre department at the Scripps Performing Arts Academy provides an unforgettable performance experience for all children, those pursuing a career on Broadway, right down to those who just like to dance and sing for their friends and family.
Musical Theatre incorporates acting, singing and dancing, but should not take the place of a dance class. Musical Theatre students should also be enrolled in a dance class, as Musical Theatre class time is used to set and rehearse choreography, not teach basic dance steps, acting, or singing.
During the summer months, we offer acting technique classes that give our performers the opportunity to explore their craft rather than work on a final production. Cross-training in the performing arts creates students who have a distinct advantage and are often better prepared for auditions and lead roles.
Two annual musical theatre workshops are offered each year and culminate in a professional children’s theatre performance in our Black Box Theatre at our Scripps Ranch Location. Faculty from our Dance and Music Departments, provide choreography and vocal coaching for our young actors and actresses and every child, regardless of age or experience receives speaking parts in each workshop.
Most recently, our Advanced Musical Theatre students and Young Adult Production Students have performed Thoroughly Modern Millie Jr., Fame, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Jr.,RENT and AIDA, School Edition!
We are now preparing for Disney's Aladdin Jr. Contact Us for more information!
NEW Musical Theatre Workshop "Fiddler on the Roof" begins August 22, 2011! Contact Us Today!
