  Please note there has been a change to the Broadway Bound schedule. Tuesday, September 7 will be reserved for program sign ups. Students will:
The class will culminate in a production to be performed for family and friends at the lovely MassBay Community College Theater. All students will collaborate on this musical theater production, featuring songs from a variety of musical scores including "Hairspray," "Beauty and the Beast," "Sweeney Todd," "The Little Mermaid," "Annie" and many more. Don't miss this opportunity to expose your budding performer to the arts in a low-pressure, collaborative, energetic and incredibly fun atmosphere!  About the Show…..“Be Careful What You Wish For: A New Fairytale Adventure” Phoebe was used to being an only child, until her little brother Owen showed up! Now her mother expects her to be responsible and help out with the babysitting and other chores, much to Phoebe’s chagrin. Everything changes when a mischievous witch shows up and promises her everything she wants in exchange for her baby brother. Phoebe doesn’t hesitate to make the trade, but soon regrets her decision. With the help of her fairy guide Guia and some familiar fairytale characters, Phoebe must face a world of unknown trouble and difficult challenges to save her brother and learn lessons of her own along the way. Our MissionThis program is geared toward exposing students to the theater arts, enhancing performance skills and socialization through collaborating with their peers on a production. We will help students develop a strong understanding of every aspect of a production from auditions to performance, both on stage and backstage. We stress the importance of every role within a show and every piece of the puzzle that makes up the final product. Our goal is to help the students build confidence and self-esteem through positive reinforcement, make friends through teamwork, nurture their own talents and discover the joy of being part of something of which they can be proud!
