If you have been with TAC before, 

you will know that Angelo is an always popular and dynamic choreographer.

 This year, Angelo will once again be Co-Directing the entire show,

not just choreographing one number!

 

Our 2009 Ensemble worked with Stephanie Klemons (Dance Captain from B'way's IN THE HEIGHTS), Penny Ayn Maas (B'Way CABARET), & Michael O'Donnell (SPAMALOT)

 

 

 

 

 

 

The  Ensemble in our World Premier of 

BEAUTY & THE BEAST  JR.!

 

The  Musical Theatre Ensemble is a professionally-based theatre and dance workshop for talented young performers ages 14-19. 2009 Participants performed in  THE DROWSY CHAPERONE, a 70 minute version of this Tony Award Winning Musical.   Music Theatre International ONCE AGAIN selected Theatre Arts Center to present this new  version as a national test site for consideration as an MTI School Edition show.   This was the world premiere of this test version.  These shows are a great resume builder for young performers!  

OUR TEEN ENSEMBLE WAS THE FIRST TO PERFORM THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE JR, DISNEY'S BEAUTY AND THE BEAST JR, JUST SO JR, AND MOBY DICK THE MUSICAL JR.

 


The workshop includes Master Classes with Broadway choreographers!

 

 

  Performances are at TWO Professional Theatres -- the beautifully restored Sellersville Theatre  in Central Bucks County and Bristol Riverside Theatre in lower Bucks County, NE of Philadelphia. 

 

 

NO OTHER LOCAL PROGRAM PERFORMS AT TWO PROFESSIONAL THEATRES!

 

An excellent professional training program and resume builder for those young performers who are auditioning for performing arts schools, school shows, and those who are or will be pursuing a career in performing.  Something for all levels.

 

 


JUNIOR ENSEMBLE
Session 4A

The Junior Ensemble are students from Session Four who are invited to perform in BOUND FOR BROADWAY 2010.  They will add Aug. 9 - Aug 15 to work with Broadway choreographers on several numbers to be included in the show.  This add-on session also includes classes and special workshops.
Past Junior Ensemble (right) worked with NYC choreographer George Nieves and B'way veteran Paul Canaan.

ONLY $1,375 FOR FIVE WEEKS!

Theatre Arts Center has been of great help to MTI in the development of BEAUTY & THE BEAST JR, MOBY DICK, The Musical and THOROUGHLY MODERN MILLIE JR. & JUST SO JR.  The talent and expertise they bring to the process has been extremely helpful in the development of these titles.  We look forward to working with them on DAMN YANKEES this summer.
