Broadway Grand Rapids Presents TAKE IT FROM THE TOP 8/9-12
TAKE IT FROM THE TOP, a series of interactive workshops offered through the MSU Federal Credit Union INSTITUTE FOR ARTS AND CREATIVITY at Wharton Center, gives participants - both pre-teens and teens - an opportunity to experience what it is like to be on Broadway. The workshops are taught by Paul Canaan and a talented team of Broadway professionals from New York City, with connections to such shows as Legally Blonde: The Musical, Adams Family Musical, Wicked, Next To Normal, In The Heights, Rent and South Pacific, to name just a few.
TAKE IT FROM THE TOP was developed by (2007) Tony Award nominee and Legally Blonde star Laura Bell Bundy and Broadway star Paul Canaan. "I saw a need to reach out to these aspiring performers and give them a leg up." Canaan says, "I've always been passionate about musical theatre. Teaching is an opportunity for me to give back and have a blast doing it."
Participants learn the craft of musical theatre with basic to advanced skills, industry history and practical content in an exciting, fast-moving, interactive setting. TAKE IT FROM THE TOP offers participants a chance to experience Broadway with the pros. Learn, work and sharpen your skills in a creative, fun and supportive environment. If you ever wanted to be on a Broadway stage, now is your chance to perform and pick the brains of the people who are doing it!For more information visit: http://whartoncenter.com/education/takeitfromthetop/grandrapids.aspx
