Mini Musicals – Just $25!

If you can’t get enough of shows like Hamilton, Wicked, Lion King, and Sweeney Todd, this is the workshop for you. Come unite your stories and songs into an amazing, must-see miniature musical  - performed by professional actors (jazz hands included!)

Once we write the outlines for our stories, we’ll learn how to break down those stories into scenes, and how to choose a genre of music that sets the mood for your story. You’ll work with your fellow theatre kids, collaborating, writing lyrics, and helping each other create musicals that Broadway will be jealous of, with songs you won't be able to stop singing. Throughout the semester, we'll draw on favorite and lesser-known musicals for inspiration.

No writing or musical experience is needed to take this workshop - all that’s needed is the song in your heart!

*This workshop is available at the special rate of $25 - thank you generous donors!

**Please note, masks now optional in the common areas of the Cornerstone Center. Thank you!
