Building on foundation skills acquired in previous SCCT musical theatre classes or performance in upstate musicals, or dance classes and chorus, this class provides a chance to really hone song & dance performance skills for kids who are really committed to working independently. Students in this class should WANT to rehearse, be self-starting and eager to work at home to bring new ideas to class each week. Group voice and dance classes in the early part of the semester will provide skill building and then students will develop a medley of songs for a live performance! This will be a more complex performance crafted to individually feature vocalists and dancers, rather than the whole class singing solely as an ensemble and performing limited choreography. The class will work on a material for a live performance for family & friends in the final class.
We only accept students into these classes who have at minimum 1 full year of chorus, voice or dance classes (more than 1 year is better). All PRODUCTION level students need to have the same foundational knowledge so that class time can be spent honing previously acquired skills. Before moving into a PRODUCTION level class, students should be able to sing and/or dance confidently (it’s fine if one of those is your stronger talent). There are expectations of behavior, focus and attendance at the PRODUCTION level. Your current SCCT teacher is always the best reference for whether your child is ready to move up and you should email them regarding your child’s progression if you have questions. If you are new to SCCT, video audition submissions are acceptable.
PRODUCTION level classes are NOT appropriate for everyone--they require…
- CONSISTENT class attendance – absenteeism will not be tolerated except in the event of contagious sickness, or another specific emergency and you must contact the teacher ASAP
- Outside of class memorization and homework assignments
- Focus, concentration in class and appropriate class behavior
- Teamwork, collaboration, and support of other students
- Commitment to planned performances
- Students are expected to bring a notebook and pencil to every class
This class runs 2 weeks longer than most other classes and families are invited to attend a LIVE performance in the final class. You are welcome to record this performance as well. Please note this date on your calendar now!
The registration link will be sent to student’s who have been recommended for Production level. If you would like your child to be considered for this class, please email, Betsy Bisson, Education Director betsy@scchildrenstheatre **BY AUGUST 16, 2024** and include
- The class you hope to enroll in – Name & Day of Week
- Your child’s name
- The classes/semesters your child has taken previously at SCCT
- Their SCCT teaching artist’s name(s)
- A short video link of your child singing and/or dancing
Please understand that if you respond after July 26, you will miss the early enrollment deadline on July 30 – it will take us a few days to receive info from your former teaching artists and discuss if the requested class is appropriate to enroll in or if there might be a better choice for your child this semester.
