Costume Designers tell a story through fashion. They bring the world of the play to life with intentional choices about clothes, shoes, and accessories. Through presentations from designers to hands-on projects, learn about the creative design process: research, concept, design renderings, and more. Explore the WFT costume shop and let your designer imagination run wild.

In our Musical Theatre Songbook series, musical theatre students will deepen and refine their skills by exploring pieces from the songbooks of notable Broadway Composers/lyricists. Students will deepen their musical theatre technique as they tackle complex works and explore the vocal dynamics and acting techniques to lift the lyrics off the page and truly act the songs. We recommend students take this class if they’ve taken Musical Theatre Fundamentals or have previous experience. A final presentation for family and friends will occur on the last day of class.

In our Actors' Studio series, serious acting students will move deeper into developing their craft. The Art of the Audition guides students through the audition process from monologue selection and development to cold readings and understanding what happens in a “working audition”. Understanding the monologue is one of the essential skills of the actor. Building on foundational acting techniques, students will explore the nuances of both comedic and dramatic monologues. Students will also explore the practical side of the theatre industry by learning the ins and outs of audition self-taping, a ‘must-have’ skill for today’s actors.
