Showcase April 25 @ 5pm in the BGCA Dance Studio
Auditioning is one of the most important and most difficult aspects of theatre. The audition process allows directors, choreographers, and other members involved in the production process to witness the artist's abilities. There are many different things that go into preparing for an audition and this class is the perfect opportunity to learn and master these skills! Auditions can be very intimidating and we are here to assist young artists to feel as comfortable and confident as possible.
This class is a great way for you to feel confident in all aspects of an audition; whether that is dancing, singing, cold reads, and more. The students will have guidance in picking an audition song and rehearsing it during class to prepare for our mock audition held at the end of the session. During the mock audition, students will also be given a dance sequence where they will not know what song they are going to be learning. Each artist will be guided and will learn musical theater dance basics, with the goal of perfecting their skills. Lastly, monologue and cold read techniques will be taught throughout class time in order build confidence and develop stronger performance and public speaking skills.

 | 02 - And Scene! Intro to Improv | 5:00-6:00pm | 15 | 12 | And Scene! Intro to Improv
Weekly on Thursdays, May 3 - 24
5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Improvisational theatre, also known as "improv," is an artistic form in which most or all of what is performed is created spontaneously by the performers. No scripts are used here folks! It is a fun and exciting way for kids to express themselves creatively, build self-confidence, and develop teamwork and communication skills.
In an improv class for kids, students will learn the basic principles of improv, such as saying "yes/and" to build on each other's ideas, making strong choices and staying in the moment. Students will also practice different improv games and exercises that help them hone their skills and think on their feet.
The class will be led by an experienced instructor who will guide the students through various improv activities and provide feedback and support. The focus of the class will be on having fun, being silly and letting go of their inhibitions. This class is a blast but we are also teaching important life skills, like active listening and communication.
Improv is a great way for people to explore their creativity, build self-confidence, and have a lot of fun in a supportive and inclusive environment. Hope to see you there!

Making music is an incredible way for kids to express themselves, but what if they don’t play an instrument? Thankfully, we all come with a built in instrument, our voices! Singing in a group is a great way to form bonds and allow our students to feel comfortable expressing themselves.
This class not only will bring voices together but also teach students how to read music from songs associated with the most wonderful time of the year! After learning and rehearsing these holiday numbers the students will be performing at LimeLights Holiday Extravaganza along with students from our Take the Stage: Dance class in the holiday play: An Old-Fashioned Christmas.

An Old-Fashioned Christmas is a heartwarming holiday tale about a group of senior citizens who long for the simple, nostalgic joys of Christmases past. When they make a wish to experience an “old-fashioned Christmas”, they get more than they bargained for when they are suddenly transported back in time to a world without electricity or indoor plumbing.
As they struggle to adapt to the challenges of the past, they learn the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of cherishing the present moment. Through their journey, they are reminded of the magic and wonder of the holiday season and the power of friendship and community.
This production teaches students how to work as a team and what it takes to put on a production. This includes learning about script analysis, character development, rehearsing, and stage work. The goal of the production is to give students a well-rounded understanding of the theatre production process and to help them develop the skills needed in the wide world of live performance. This process will be led by theatre professionals who are passionate about sharing the arts with young aspiring artists in our community.
Join us and get a jump start on the holidays with our LimeLights Holiday Extravaganza and spread the joy of an Old-Fashioned Christmas!
