Overview of class
This class will focus on the elements of rehearsal and performance technique utilized by performers (and members of a creative team) during a music theatre developmental reading process. The class will act as the repertory ensemble for a series of readings of new musicals written by Northwestern University students. Interested students should be eligible for 300-level coursework, and comfortable in both singing and acting with relatively little advance preparation time. Students who are more interested in the creative team perspective should also be willing to serve as performers for part of the class duration.
Registration Requirements
