Through instruction, rehearsal, and the mounting of a full scale musical theatre production (to be announced each fall) students will learn and practice the skills of the musical theatre genre (acting, singing, dancing and also backstage/technical work for those interested). This course runs outside of the timetable and requires dedication and commitment from all involved. Auditions will be announced in the first few weeks of school and rehearsals will begin in October (Monday, Wednesday and Thursday after school). In the Spring, performances will be staged with ticket sales open to both the school and general public. Students must be prepared to commit to the rehearsal and performance schedules and expect to put in extra time as the performance dates approach. Those who have a passion for singing, acting or dancing will enjoy the rehearsal and performance aspects of this course. Grade 9 and 10 students wishing to participate in the production are welcome and should sign up for an audition in the fall)
