Don't miss our next session of Prestige Pops (formerly called The Kids Off Broadway Workshop)!! Rehearsals during the school year are on Tuesdays 530-7pm (ages 5-9) or 530-715pm (ages 10-18). We also have a yearly summer camp.
WINTER/SPRING WORKSHOP: February 1 - May 10, 2011 (final performance is May 10)
The Kids Off Broadway Workshop ("Prestige Pops") is a wonderful opportunity for students ages 5-18 who enjoy singing, acting or dancing. We sing to and choreograph pieces from various musicals, and students have the option to learn and perform a monologue while receiving dramatic coaching. In the past, we have performed numbers from "High School Musical," "High School Musical 2," "Wicked," "Annie," "The Sound of Music," "Hairspray," "Rent," pop songs by popular performers, and much, much more!
Ages 5-9, "Little Stars" : Children ages 5-9 will be in their own rehearsal group for most of the rehearsal time. All the students of all ages are together from 5:30-6pm (approximately) for warm-ups, theatre games and other activities, and then the children ages 5-9 are grouped separately from 6-7pm. If you have a 5-9 year old who has either done the workshop before or who you think is skilled enough to be in with the older children, please let us know - placement with the older students is open by audition the first night of rehearsal for that workshop's 9-week session.
Ages 10-18, "Broadway Stars": Regular rehearsals from 530-715pm on Tuesdays. Rehearsals include warm-ups, games to teach concepts of musical theatre, monologue preparation (optional), and learning music and choreography. It's a fun 105-minutes!!
Experience: No experience is required. If your child has a learning disability, please speak with us before registering him or her. Not all learning disabilities will be able to handle the rehearsal, and we want all children to feel comfortable.
Rehearsals: Rehearsals are closed to family/friends - the final performance is a surprise! Students are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing they can easily move in, comfortable shoes (must have rubber soles on our dance floor - jazz shoes are perfect!), and to bring a water bottle. Food that will not leave crumbs or ruin the dance floor in a spill are permitted. Only 2 absences are permitted, excluding the dress rehearsal(s) and performance(s), because we learn and perform together as a group!
Important dates: The final performance is the last date of the session 6pm (call time 530pm) at the studio. This performance is required. Other performances may also be added throughout the workshop.
Spotlight Solo: Each week, one of the students performs a Spotlight Solo for everyone! Bring in a karaoke CD that does not have the lead vocal on it so that we can hear you sing! This is a fun way to share your music and singing with your friends you make at the workshop.
Cost: Tuition is $299 for "Broadway Stars" and $249 for "Little Stars" for the whole workshop, payable with check or credit card (Visa/MC only). This includes the cost of music and materials, with the exception of costumes. We do not purchase specific costumes, but give you a generic list of what the students should wear for each number. Most of the things requested will be in your closet at home, so you should not have additional expenditures for costumes unless you choose to purchase something new on your own.
All tuition is non-refundable, non-transferable.
