Programs & Classes Offer
Act 1
This class is designed for beginning and intermediate theatre students aged 8 -13. We will focus on techniques such as the basics of acting, stage presence, auditioning, projection, vocal training, theater etiquette and dancing. In this 2 hour class students will be able to perform in two separate productions. Our first performance will be a kids focused musical, where each student has a unique part and will be the stars of their own show. This will be performed in the black box theater at Allegro Dance Studio. The second performance will give your children the opportunity to be an ensemble character in our Allegro Encore’s main stage production. If your child wishes to be considered for a bigger part in our Allegro Encore, we welcome them to audition. All ages and abilities are welcome.
Act 2
This class is designed for advanced theater students. This is by teacher placement only. This one hour, once a week class offers an engaging environment where students can explore the many aspects of live theatre. Students will have performance opportunities alongside student-led (teacher guided) show production, throughout the 10-month program.
Voice
Learn to sing higher, lower, louder, softer, and with more agility. Using a variety of choral & physical exercises, we will help you find your own unique sound during this one hour, once a week class. Students will have performance opportunities such as class recitals as well as Christmas caroling. Voice is recommended for those who wish to participate in the Encore program as it provides audition preparation as well as professional vocal coaching.
Allegro Encore
This audition only program is designed for performers who want to participate in a fully staged musical production, build a stronger resume, and develop beneficial life skills. Available to students ages 8 – 18; this 10-week course begins with auditions in early March and ends with our main stage musical performance at the Richard Brown Fine Arts Center in May or June. We will have multiple rehearsals a week that will run anywhere from 1 – 4 hours at a time. The rehearsal schedule is based on student and parent availability as well as casting. Please note that schedules will change week-to week. We highly encourage our Allegro Encore students to be enrolled in our weekly acting classes.
