MUSICAL THEATRE (8-10, 11-13, 13+ years)
A “Triple Threat” actor can dance, sing and act all at the same time! OSSD's Musical Theatre program helps to develop all of these skills. Students learn how to tell a story through words, movement and song. Training focuses on acting, singing, dancing and working chorally as a group. Specific musicals, or musical theatre themes, are selected based on the needs of the students. Students work toward final workshop presentations.

With minimal sets and costumes, the emphasis is on the actor. A final production takes place in the spring.
Musical Theatre Studio Companies are directed by Natalie Fraser Purdy and Emmanuelle Zeesman. Theresa Cillis O’Meara is the musical director.
