Description
This intensive non-auditioned workshop is designed for adult singers with an interest in cabaret performance and music theatre, as well as for classical singers interested in developing crossover technique and repertoire. Some previous vocal training and performing experience is an asset but is not compulsory.
Limited to 20 singers; early application is advised. Repertoire suggestions and scores will be sent to participants in advance of the program. Each singer will prepare two songs - uptempo and ballad - to perform in class and at the final concert.

This intensive encompasses daily masterclasses, lessons with faculty, classes in acting and performance practice, and a performance to conclude the week.
NEW VOICES OF CABARET
Cabaret has changed over the years but it's still an important part of music theatre! Join us to discover the new songwriters and theatre composers that have contributed to the cabaret repertoire in the last 35 years.
From the intimate songs of Jason Robert Brown (Songs for a New World), Adam Gwon (Ordinary Days), and Goldrich & Heisler (Taylor the Latte Boy) to the new musical theatre creations of Jeanine Tesori (Shrek, Thoroughly Modern Millie), Pasek & Paul (Dear Evan Hansen, A Christmas Story), Flaherty & Ahrens (Ragtime), Alan Menken (Little Shop of Horrors, Newsies) and many more, there is something for everyone in the modern era of cabaret!
Spend a week with the faculty of professional singers, actors, and cabaret performers to create a show that spotlights the art of the singing actor. Each day includes private voice coaching, group workshops, acting class, and show rehearsals. All are welcome – no audition required.
The faculty brings a wealth of experience in a wide range of genres, from Broadway to cabaret and commercial recording, and will work with the singers individually and in masterclass to develop their confidence and polish their performance as singing actors.
