Musical Theatre, a distinctly American art form, has the power to uplift, inspire, and ignite our curiosity. Behind every great musical are the writers who bring the story to life. In this class, young artists will have the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of musical theatre writing. They'll explore lyric writing, dialogue creation, and how music drives dramatic action.
