Musical Theater for Middle School: Mama Mia!

Ready, set, action! In this course, you’ll study scenes and songs from Mama Mia!, learning important skills like scene work, choreography, ensemble and solo singing along the way. We’ll use theater games and improvisation to build your listening skills, empathy and flexibility, and introduce the concept of side coaching. You’ll take a close-up look at various well-known musical theater characters to explore their journey in the story and how they communicate using song and dance. You’ll practice and perform a variety of songs, monologues and scenes, with a focus on memorization, role playing, and vocal and physical expression. On the final day of class, you’ll have the chance to share your work from the past two weeks with family and friends.
