The S.S. American is sailing between New York and England with a comically colorful assemblage of passengers: Reno Sweeney, a popular nightclub singer and former evangelist, her pal Billy Crocker, a lovelorn Wall Street broker who has come aboard to try to win the favor of his beloved Hope Harcourt (who is engaged to another passenger, Sir Evelyn Oakleigh), and a second-rate con man named Moonface Martin, aka “Public Enemy #13.” Song, dance, and farcical antics ensue as Reno and Moonface try to help Billy win the love of his life.

In this class, each student will learn what it truly means to be an actor. Everything learned can be applied to being in a musical, performing a solo, or even preparing for a monologue. Participants will play theatre games, block and perform numbers from various musicals, prepare solos, work on cold readings, and hone their audition technique. Participants will learn how to make their performance come to life. If you love to sing, act, and perform then this is the class for you!
