Rosemary, We are doing Sponge Bob in March. I was hoping the "foley" cues would be on the stage tracks, but doesn't look like it. Would you happen to know anything about this?

Greetings all! My freshman are working on resumes and I'm trying to think of how to list the work they did on shows that never were, due to Covid. Many of them are using skills-oriented formats since Covid robbed them of other experiences. But several of them were cast and went through the rehearsal ...

Thank you so much! This has been on my list for a while now, just been waiting for the right group of actors. I appreciate your kind words, and I appreciate your contribution to the theatre.

Good morning friends and colleagues, I'm in the process of choosing our shows for next season, banking on the idea that life will be normal enough for live and in-person performances at a greater capacity (masked or unmasked, I'll take it!). I'm trying to think of a show to do in the Fall that will ...

RE: Making a musical film

It would replace our spring musical. I just want to do something safe (want to film outside as much as possible), and something more fun than just filming a performance on stage (I just don't find those engaging, especially without editing). A shorter musical would probably be better. We are working ...

Hi guys, So, I'm finding a lot of musicals that are available to stream, but with no editing. But, do we know of any shows and publishers that are allowing for filming, editing, and streaming.

Hey Erika! We do mini musicals. I give them 3 songs (or you can let them pick). They have to create a 10 minute musical with story and choreography. We talk about typical musical theatre structure. They then have to decide which song is the opening, which is the "I Want" song, the turning point, or ...
