🎵 What Are Musical Theater Classes?

Musical Theater classes at COMAD are weekly training sessions focused on developing “triple-threat” performers—students who learn to:

• Act (character work, expression, stage presence)

• Sing (projection, pitch, breath support)

• Dance (musical theater style movement and basic choreography)

Unlike full-scale productions, classes are skill-based and ongoing, with less pressure and more time spent on technique, exercises, and learning fundamentals.

Students don’t need prior experience, and the atmosphere is positive, supportive, and age-appropriate.

🧭 Classes vs. Productions – What’s the Difference?

Parents often ask:

“Should my child start with classes or jump right into a production?”

Here’s a simple way to think about it:

• Musical Theater Classes = Weekly training

  • Focus on skills and learning

  • Less pressure, more practice

  • Great for beginners, returning students, or off-season training

• Musical Theater Productions = Performance experience

  • Auditions, rehearsals, costumes, and live performances

  • Higher time commitment

  • Ideal for students ready to apply their skills on stage

Many families choose this pathway:

1. Start with Musical Theater Classes

2. Add or move into Musical Theater Productions for onstage experience
