THEA 105 Musical Theater
(same as MUSI 105) Study, rehearsal, and performance of a musical theatre piece. Students will be cast in a role or assigned a production responsibility and will be coached and directed by the staff. An emphasis will be placed on the development through practice of skills in singing, acting, dancing and in the designing, lighting and running of a production. Significant time will also be given to looking at literary, thematic and historical aspects of the piece to be produced with the intent of developing a sensitivity to the special qualities of musical theatre. Whether MUSI or THEA, this course may be taken only twice for credit. Prerequisite: permission of the instructor
