Additional information:
To quote Michael Shurtleff:
"Musical Theatre is not more superficial than drama, a common misconception among actors and audience...In many ways, musical theatre is more difficult than drama because it needs everything an actor gives to drama and yet it needs more.  More force, more economy, more relationship, more humor, more of everything an actor has to offer.  To say nothing of singing and dancing as well!"

SONGBOOK is a class which focuses on building and strengthening music theatre repertoire.  Work is done one-on-one. Class size is limited.
To participate, please send a picture, resume, and a short note about why you're interested in attending.
