Shoshana Bean to Teach Public Master Class at PRiMA Theatre

PRiMA Theatre and headline sponsor Hagelgans & Veronis Law Firm will host Broadway's green witch, Shoshana Bean, as she lands in Lancaster for an exclusive solo concert and public master class. Best known for playing Elphaba in Wicked, Shoshana is one of Broadway composer (and 2014 PRiMA guest artist) Jason Robert Brown's favorite singers. From Hairspray to Godspell, singing with Michael Jackson to the Enchanted movie soundtrack, this powerhouse vocalist brings her vocal prowess and unique experience to the PRiMA stage.

Shoshana's PRiMA master class is open to all interested in getting a behind-the-scenes experience of what it takes to take a performance to the next level. This means that not just students of musical theatre are invited, but the general public is welcomed to attend. Bean will work with six to eight local performers on performance and audition technique while an audience has the opportunity to observe. "I aim to personalize each song specifically to the performer guiding them through exercises that will help to make the song uniquely their own" said Shoshana. "This process brings out their individual strengths, aids them in connecting emotionally to the piece in a powerful way and creates a moving experience for the audience both in a show or audition setting." Additionally, Shoshana will offer tips on proper audition technique, vocal health and style, as well as share personal and professional anecdotes.

Those performers interested in being selected to work with Shoshana Bean on stage in the master class ($125.00 additional cost for those chosen) should purchase normal tickets to the events, and then submit an email to info@primatheatre.org regarding their interest by February 9. Submission emails with headshot, resume and performance reel (if available) are appreciated.

Her concert will occur later that day in the same beautiful venue as the master class. This solo concert will feature Andy Roberts on the piano with Shoshana's masterful vocals. She will sing contemporary musical theatre tunes, as well as her pop, soul and blues chart-topping songs. See shoshanabean.com or primatheatre.org for more details.
