Students will become more confident, independent and skilled on stage.
Many of our students who took part in these junior musicals have gone on to work professionally... and they weren't all in leading roles from day one at MV. Plenty started off with smaller roles or in the ensemble, working their way upwards over the years.
Production classes (full length musicals) will involve a show fee to cover microphone hire, costume purchase or hire, chaperones at the theatre and extra theatre rehearsals. Please budget for £60 to cover the above due one month before the production.
