Minnetonka Community Education

Discover the world of musical theater by honing your skills in singing, dancing and acting. Collaborate with your fellow cast members to create a captivating performance to demonstrate your newly acquired talents at the end of the week.

This fast-paced, exciting workshop is perfect for you if you love to sing and want to develop your voice further. Learn a variety of songs including musical theater and jazz selections. We will also explore the skill of vocal improvisation (scat singing), beatboxing and singing two notes at the same time using harmonic overtones. At the end of the week, we will put on a public concert showcasing our work. Participants from past years are encouraged to join us again as the music is never the same from year to year. All ability levels are welcome!

Professional actors and directors will work with up to 60 young actors in each production. The troupe will rehearse for one week and perform the play on Friday and Saturday. Participants experience the excitement of producing an original musical production based on a classic tale. Set, costumes, props and makeup are provided. Schedule: Auditions will be held on Monday. Rehearsals will be held throughout the remainder of the week (Tuesday-Thursday). Rehearsal schedules will be handed out after the auditions. On Friday, rehearsal will begin at 2:30 pm in lieu of the regular morning session. Performances are Friday at 6 pm and Saturday at 10am. Please send a snack with your child daily and a bag dinner on Friday. Tickets: Two complimentary tickets will be given out to each participant. Additional tickets may be purchased before the show on Friday and Saturday. Attendance: Rehearsal time is limited, so it is crucial for students to be there for their practice times. In addition, it is expected that all members will perform on both Friday and Saturday. Due to cast size, not all actors will receive speaking lines, but all will be involved in musical numbers throughout the show.
