Description

You’re doing a musical in May but you see your kids once a week, you don’t know anything about theater, you have no parent volunteers, and your budget is $0. Sound familiar?

Never fear! I’m Liz, and I am going to guide you through the process of producing a musical when the odds are most certainly NOT in your favor. I am a theater kid with 10 years of general music teaching experience, and I’ve got some tricks that I’d love to share!

The PD will be in three parts. The first, “The $0 Musical” will outline funding resources for the basics, and some ways to make a show work in the context of a typical elementary schedule. We’ll talk blocking, set, costumes, and ways to make the most of REALLY limited resources.

Part two will be “All About That Tech”, where we discuss what you want, need, and might possibly get in the world of sound and lighting. You’ll come away with specific product ideas and easy solutions to make your show so much more powerful.

Our final part is designed to get moving! “Choreography for the Non-Dancer” is your musician-friendly how-to for movement in your show. We will discuss choreographing like a musician, effective moves to use over and over, and best practices for teaching.
