On April 2, 2018, he will work one-on-one with aspiring young local, high school, and college-aged singers in an exclusive masterclass held at Corvallis High School. The audience will have the opportunity to witness a master in his element as he shapes and improves the selected participants' performances and talks about what it takes to make it on Broadway. This is certainly a rare occasion in the Corvallis area and should not be missed! Divided into three separate sessions, these sessions are one day only.

The sessions will feature the following:

• 4:30 PM will feature 6 aspiring singers

• 6:30 PM will feature 6 aspiring singers

• 8:30 PM** will feature 7 singers from Oregon State University

**Meet and great with the artist will follow the 8:30 masterclass only
