Fall Classes Announced at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre's Conservatory

Local students are headed back to school this August to their favorite classes of all: dance, singing, acting and more in thrilling fall classes at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre Goldner Conservatory of Performing Arts!

In addition to producing full-scale professional family shows throughout the season, the Theatre's Conservatory offers year-round learning opportunities for kids and adults of all ages, including a fall semester of fun-filled classes taught by Broadway-caliber theatre professionals. The Theatre is currently enrolling students (kindergarten through adult) in all levels of dance, voice, acting and musical theatre, with classes that start August 14.

"We're proud to offer a host of brand-new programs this fall, including a College Audition Prep program for high school students and two audition prep workshops specifically for younger students preparing to audition for Bak Middle School of the Arts," said Julie Rowe, the Conservatory's director of education. "We also have a new Improv for the Classroom course for middle and high school students, a monologue workshop and master classes with two well-known New York City industry professionals: acting coach and author Denise Simons and leading youth talent agent Nancy Carson."

Students come from as far as Miami, Wellington and Fort Pierce to study at the Conservatory. The connection to the Theatre allows students the opportunity to perform on the Theatre's stage and work alongside professionals both onstage and off, with hands-on workshops and master classes that offer students an opportunity to learn first-hand from nationally known directors and Broadway performers, agents and local instructors. The Conservatory boasts world-class classroom facilities that include state-of-the-art dance, acting and voice studios.

An exclusive program is the Theatre's "In the Style Of" series, which offers an extra-special opportunity for Conservatory students to be selected for free, unique dance workshops with cast members from the Theatre's upcoming 2016/17 musicals Disney Newsies, Hairspray and South Pacific. Attendees will be selected via lottery, open to all currently enrolled students.

The Conservatory offers a range of ballet, jazz, tap and hip hop dance classes, as well as courses in improvisation, playwriting, musical theatre and a once-a-month dance audition techniques class. Students enrolled in the Conservatory's signature Musical Theatre Production classes for the fall semester will perform in The Best of Broadway Revue on the Maltz Jupiter Theatre's stage in December. Students enrolled for the spring semester will perform in the full-scale musicals Disney MULAN JR. and 42nd Street in May. Enrollment fees are all-inclusive, covering all costumes and performance-related costs.

The second class of the Conservatory's premier Professional Training Program will also start this fall. The only two-year professional training program in Florida affiliated with a professional regional theatre, the program's students train 35 hours per week with Broadway and South Florida professionals for all aspects of performing, including acting and acting for the camera, voice and speech, musical theatre styles, multiple forms of dance, music theory, Shakespeare, stage combat, piano fundamentals, career prep and more. A new program in 2015, the program's inaugural class will graduate in August.

Fall classes begin August 14, and online registration is now open. Scholarships are also available. For information, call (561) 575-2672 or visit www.jupitertheatre.org/education.
