Musical Theater Builders
Musical Theater Builders After School Programs create a world of theatrical adventure, collaboration, and discovery.
“For the past several years Madeline has taught a fantastic Musical Theater Builders class for the After School Program at The School at Columbia University. Not only does she have an in-depth understanding of the theatrical arts, but an uncanny ability to interest and motivate her pupils. Her high energy level and creative inspiration have brought a following of students and parents alike.”
Class overview
In Musical Theater Builders, kids create their own hilarious Musical Sketch Comedy Revue performance. Together with our team of professional adult singer/actors, students develop an original performance improv. Musical numbers are crafted by setting new lyrics to famous tunes from Broadway to Opera to R&B—all with very comic effect! Finally, children rehearse and perform the “World Premiere” of their original show for family and friends. (Think Sesame Street and SNL meet your kids at Carnegie Hall!) Each class is accompanied by a professional live pianist to ensure a high standard of musical training. Class size is limited, ensuring that each child is given the opportunity to make his or her own unique contribution.
Kids in this program will:
develop stronger literacy skills as they devise and revise and memorize scripts
develop confidence through the practice of theatrical improv games and exercises
develop skills in acting and singing
build stronger social.emotional skills and resilience through creative collaboration.
