Musical Theater Extravaganza this spring at Queen of Angels School! 

Join Musical Chairs Studio this January as children in grades 2nd - 5th will escape to the streets of Paris to prepare the musical performance of The Aristocats. Directed by Pavi Proczko, weekly rehearsals will work on acting skills, rehearsing lines, learning choreography and music. Session will culminate in a full musical theater production of Disney's The Aristocats on Wednesday, May 22nd at 5:30 pm

Children will be assigned roles in January. Older students will be assigned roles with more extensive lines to prepare and possible voice solos. Younger children may be cast with smaller speaking parts or as part of an ensemble. Consideration will always be given to help build each child's confidence and self-esteem while learning teamwork and having fun. Students will also receive special musical coaching from voice instructor Evelyn Finne to prepare for the challenging music that will be performed in the show.

Older students who are cast in major roles will be expected to learn their lines at home and come prepared to rehearse in a group. For roles requiring solo vocal performances, consideration of vocal experience, ability and interest will be given when casting. Each student will receive a music CD with the songs for the musical. We encourage listening at home to help learn words and melody.

Participation in our fall session is not a mandatory prerequisite to the spring session. However, the fall session is designed to help prepare for spring so casting decisions could lean toward fall participates who have this background.
