Excel Drama: Newsies On Stage!

“Seize the Day” with this NEW drama opportunity for teens and adults with mild to moderate disabilities.  Students will work together as a theatrical team as they learn and improve singing, dancing, and acting skills.  The session will culminate with two final showcase performances of songs & scenes from Disney’s Newsies. In addition to rehearsing for the performance, students will gain a basic knowledge of drama skills such as stage directions, projection, articulation, character development, and more.  With staff support, students will work towards singing independently with accompaniment.  Vocal soundtrack will be used to assist students with learning vocal parts, with a goal of removing the vocal guides from select songs once students are comfortable with the music.
