What To Expect
Quinsigamond Youth Theatrical Company’s children’s and youth theater class is a theater WITH music program vs. traditional “musical theater”.
Our collaborative program provides young theatre enthusiasts the opportunity to:
- Work as part of a team
- Learn basic stage directions
- Develop basic skills for off- or on-stage expression and vocal projection
- Learn to complement expression with music and movement
- Parts are assigned by the Director, according to student experience and ability.
Not comfortable on-stage? That is OK. We have openings for stage hands and scenery designers.
For this program, we do not schedule make-ups for teacher sickness or bad weather (except for the winter production date) as rehearsals are set around the performance date.
