This year we are excited to announce a new edition of our dynamic musical theatre program Broadway Bound for ages 8-11. At the core of all great performances is a clear character. Spend four Saturdays with GMT pros focusing on making choices, tapping into physicality, and building character all through the wildly exciting craft of musical theatre performance. Because of fully-formed characters, the magic of theatre storytelling is brought to life in some of the biggest and boldest American Musicals. 

Broadway Bound: Building Characters will dive into character creation by exploring emotion, motivation, physicality, and creating a backstory. Vocal and choreography exercises will help develop characters. Vocal techniques including breath control, expression, and projection will offer tools in the style of musical theatre singing. Dance and movement will be explored to enhance character choices and stage presence. These energetic sessions allow participants to embody characters fully and creatively.

GMT’s teaching artists are industry pros with experience on Broadway, National Tours, film, television, theme park entertainment, and more.

Get ready to rock the stage! This new edition of Broadway Bound is specifically designed for teens ages 12-17 who are interested in pop-driven Broadway musicals. Today’s Broadway “triple threat” is knowledgeable in all forms of musical theatre singing, and pop and pop-rock musicals are a major part of the Broadway musical landscape. 

Broadway Bound: Pop Vocal Musicals is a world of vocal opportunity. Pop musicals range from Wicked, Moulin Rouge!, MJ: The Musical, & Juliet, Jersey Boys, Hell’s Kitchen, American Idiot, Jesus Christ Superstar and so many more. GMT’s team includes industry pros with experience on Broadway and in pop music recording, production and performance.

Focus on vocal training to navigate the pop vocal style that asks a performer to use breath control, vocal dynamics and non-classical tone to express a character. Layer in contemporary dance and movement mixed with jazz choreography to amp up your stage presence and confidence. Participants will collaborate to learn the dynamics of group performance in musical theatre. There will also be moments of solo, duet and small group performance! 

Limited Spaces Available. Tuition Assistance Available.
