The On Stage Musical Theatre Intensive is designed for 10-17 year olds to gain a deeper understanding of the story, refine triple threat skills and gain a new confidence within the musical theatre genre.
Included in this five-day holiday program package is an exclusive opportunity to attend an Adelaide Festival Centre main stage performance (pending availability) following the workshop (July to Dec). Information will follow.
No auditions required however participants must have experience in singing and dance as the program will be delivered at a high level and fast pace.
Numbers are capped so get in quick!
On Stage is a highlight and a priority of the school holidays for my son...you return to me each day a happy, engaged, bright, energetic and enthusiastic human being that can’t stop talking, taking me through minute by minute what has happened that day
Every time my daughter participates in an On Stage workshop she comes away with so many new skills. She meets new people, has oodles of fun and always ends the week feeling really good about herself.
You all go above and beyond – in particular I really appreciate the 'kiss and drop' service – it takes all the stress out of the drop off/pick up times for me.
