SHOWCASE CLASS: AN ORIGINAL MUSICAL
Instructor: Chelsea Dacey
A Holiday Twist on Musical Theatre
Come prepared for the first class with a short holiday-themed song, approximately 30 seconds, to perform with a backing track or a cappella. Students will create their own characters and originate their own roles in the musical while working together to develop an original holiday musical featuring seasonal favorites, and more. The process includes character development, musical theatre technique, ensemble work, and the use of simple scenery, costumes, and props.
About the Musical
When the elves realize they’ll have to prepare for the holiday season on their own - Tinsel takes charge and activates “Operation Elves.” Together, the elves decorate, wrap presents, pack the sleigh, and work to keep their holiday spirit alive! Featuring seasonal favorites, and more, this original musical is filled with music, comedy, teamwork, and holiday magic. The session will culminate in a fully staged Showcase at Legacy Theatre for family and friends.
Auditions will be held during the first class, and every student will be cast. No prior experience needed!.

Please complete the Holiday Showcase Student Information & Audition Form before the first class. The form includes student information, character interests, costume sizing, and audition song details. If singing with a backing track, you’ll also be able to upload the MP3 or provide a link.
