Break a Leg, Theater Teachers
Teachers and directors of high-school and middle-school theater and arts programs are invited to apply for the 2008 Broadway Teachers Workshop being held this summer in New York City. The three-day intensive series of workshops and seminars will be conducted by renowned theater educators and several Broadway professionals.
Two sessions are being offered -- from July 14-16 and from July 17-19 -- featuring classes on everything from production resources and creating choreography for non-dancers, to stage combat, casting a Broadway show and makeup techniques.
There will also be two master classes: one with "Wicked" composer Stephen Schwartz and one with Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner Marsha Norman, who wrote the books for "The Secret Garden" and "The Color Purple," as well as "Night, Mother."
Cost of the workshop is $549 before April 1; and $599 thereafter. Tuition includes eight workshop sessions and a ticket to four shows. Five percent of ticket proceeds are donated to a non-profit organization or charity selected by the group.
