MUSICAL THEATER

Students will audition, rehearse and perform while assisting in costuming and producing a large-scale musical theatre performance. Singing, dancing and acting will be incorporated into this class; however, lack of experience should not be a deterrent to participating. Instruction will be provided for required skills and there will be many roles available for students of all abilities and interests. This is a performance class. Students will sign a contract committing to attend classes, dress rehearsals and their performance. Performances include two days of dress rehearsals followed by one performance. 

***Performances and dress rehearsals are required***

MUSICAL THEATER

Course Description:  The Summit Academy high school musical theater class will produce one musical over the course of the school year.  Students will be required to prepare and audition for the musical with the knowledge that parts will be assigned to all students who are registered for the class and audition in front of the class.  In addition, students will learn skills associated with musical theatre in our school productions and complete some projects that provide academic reinforcement to develop those skills.  For the latter part of the year students will collaborate to perform a scene for the spring performance.  The following is a list of skills and understanding student will have at the completion of this course;

Skills and Understandings:

• Define the major roles of those involved in putting on a musical production
• Perform basic choreography
• Sing as part of a chorus or individually
• Perform in role as a character
• Compare and contrast musical theatre and other theatrical forms
• Integrate a variety of art forms (music, dance, etc)
• Learn basic skills of those who work “behind the scenes” including costuming, set design, and tech crew.

Grading Policy:  Students will be graded in three areas: Participation, Preparedness and Projects.  The first portion of the grade is participation.  To receive full participation credit, students must remain focused during rehearsal time, take suggestions and make changes accordingly, and stay engaged in the activities during the class period.  This is not a grade for talent, it is a grade for work ethic.  If a student is disruptive or disrespectful, his or her participation grade will suffer.  Because attendance is a vital part of a performance class, each student will only be allowed 2 excused absences each semester.  Additional absences will result in receiving a grade of 0 for participation.  Students must abide by the participation contract or they may be asked to drop the course.

The second portion of the grade is for preparedness.  Students must be prepared each week with script and pencil.  Students must also follow the rehearsal schedule and have lines, blocking, choreography and music memorized according to the schedule.

The third and final portion of the grade is projects and assignments.  Students will have occasional homework assignments to complete during the school year as well as be required to serve on one of the committees assigned to assist in different aspects of the production.  Students will not only be responsible for learning their own part in the performance, but will be required to perform in the chorus or participate on stage crew for other classes performing.
