Segerstrom Center Online Musical Theater Training Program
01.28.21
One enthusiastic parent whose child participated in Segerstrom Center for the Arts’ Musical Theatre Training Program this past fall said, “Please offer more musical theatre classes soon!” And so, the Center’s Education Department has announced a new series of classes for aspiring young performers ages 9-18 in February.
Students of all experience levels are welcome for this 5-class virtual program, where they will be coached in musical theater performance and technique by some of the industry’s leading live stage professional artists and educators. The classes will be live but virtual Tuesdays and Thursdays February 9, 11, 16,18 and 23.
Because the classes are live, there is immediate interaction between students and faculty while everyone remains completely safe. Classes will focus on musical theater performance, acting, improv and dance. The Winter 2021 Fall Musical Theater Program will have two tracks, one for students ages 9–13 and one for ages 14–18. Entrance is not audition-based, so registration is on a first-come, first-served basis, and capacity is limited. Tuition for all five classes is $150, and registration can be completed online at scfta.org.
Classes will be 60–75 minutes in length. Classes for students 9–13 years of age will be at 4 p.m., and classes for students 14–18 years of age will be at 6 p.m. Sessions are listed below:
