Taught by Sondheim expert and scholar Gail Leondar-Wright, students of all ages will be immersed in the masterful theater creator’s brilliant rhymes, diving deep into legendary songs like “Finishing the Hat” (Sunday in the Park with George), “Send in the Clowns” and “The Miller’s Son” (A Little Night Music).
Musical Theater Bootcamp
Pasadena-area high school students: apply to be part of Pasadena Playhouse’s first ever Musical Theater Boot Camp! Students focus on the audition process rather than a production, allowing them to enter the college application season with a repertoire of monologues and songs, as well as the skills needed to find material appropriate for their age and type. From 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM, industry professionals and guest artists will instruct students in acting, singing, dancing, movement, theater history and the college theater landscape. Each session culminates in a showcase for family and friends.
