Join the Mass Arts Center this fall for Broadway Mash-Up, a specialized class designed for enthusiastic performers, ages 8-12. Broadway Mash-Up gives participants the opportunity to perform material from Broadway musicals, exposing them to various performance styles while allowing for concentrated study in voice (pitch, diction, harmony, rhythm, and group dynamics) story-driven choreography, (movement based on character and story) and scene study (discovering the who, what, where, and why of character development). With an emphasis on ensemble-based work, Broadway Mash-Up will not only further the students’ performative technique, but it will also further the students’ understanding and practice of collaboration, team building, creative thinking, cooperation, and commitment. Join us this semester as we work on material from Mamma Mia!

Broadway Kids explores musical stories meaningful to their age and sensibility. This spring Broadway Kids will take on material from the “never gonna’ grow up” phenomenon, Peter Pan, a musical centered around the adventures of childhood, the wonder of imagination, and the importance of maternal love and family. Through song, dance, and character work, students will immerse themselves in J.M. Barrie’s timeless classic and present their “findings” in a spring-end recital. Join us this spring as we all recall the experiences and inescapable lessons of childhood.
