Since this is a private lesson it can be tailored to the needs of each individual student. Students will get to hear their work performed at an end of the year concert of Little Village Playhouse student's work.

    Little Village Summer Musical Theatre   
     
    Open to students entering grades 2 through 6.
     
    This summer intensive is a camp for kids to have fun, learn theatre skills, and put together a musical production. With the help of guest teachers, master classes, and work in choreography, vocal technique and performance, and improvisation, students learn to overcome their "stage fright" and work as a group to tell a story through a theatrical piece. Delving more deeply into ideas mentioned during the fall and spring musical theatre classes, students gain confidence in themselves, their abilities as performers, and their social assurance with peers.
     
    The Little Village Summer Musical Theatre Class will be taught by Galit Sperling.
