“The Stage One program was an incredible transitional experience for me. Having participated in the program the summer before my senior year of high school, it fostered my growth from an excited yet inexperienced young performer to a more confident, emotionally-intelligent actor, singer and dancer.” – Edward Simon
This coming Saturday the 26th, the Signature Theatre Education Department will be holding auditions for its 2014 summer Stage One musical theatre workshops at 10:00 am.
The Stage
One workshop is a two-week program that gives anyone ages 14-17 the chance to
experience in-depth the world of professional musical theatre and to hone their
vocal, dance and acting skills. Musical theatre professionals provide students
with personalized, supportive instruction in daily dancing, singing, and acting
courses. As the prequel to the successful Overtures Musical Theatre Institute,
Stage One aims to create fully-developed young musical theatre performers. At
the conclusion of the program, students will demonstrate what they’ve learned
in a performance for friends and family members.

In addition to daily training in acting, music and dance, this year Stage One will be a full hour longer to incorporate daily master classes from a professional from the DC theatre scene. With a different instructor everyday, this is an incredible opportunity for high schools students to work with award-winning actors, directors, choreographers, musicians and casting directors.
Check
out the comments former Stage One students have had about their involvement
with the program and how it has helped them as performers.

“I came into Stage One already
knowing I wanted to pursue musical theatre as a career, but when I left,
my love for the art was even stronger because I was so heavily exposed to the
varied disciplines within the art form. Stage One is the right program for
anyone who loves performing musical theatre, wants to learn much more about it,
and simply wants to have a fantastic time with other kids that share the same
passion.” - Eitan Mazia
You’ve
heard it from some of our past students so now why don’t you audition to be one of
our students? Come out this coming Saturday at 10:00 am with 2 contrasting
musical theatre pieces, no more than 16 bars a piece, and be prepared for a short
dance call. We look forward to hopefully seeing, meeting, and working with you.
