Capstone cabaret

In musical theatre, we sing because the emotion becomes too strong to speak. Words alone cannot express what needs to be said. In teaching works of musical theatre to groups, duets, and soloists, I learned how to pull emotions out of the actors I worked with, as well as how to teach the technical and expressive aspects of the songs. I worked with educated and experienced people who taught me how to better myself through this project. Exploring musicals as diverse as Ruthless! and Hair gave me a look into several different styles. Organizing a group of more than twenty people gave me experience with working with conflicting schedules and collaborating with different personalities. The end result was a cabaret-style performance of musical theatre songs that was unanimously described as entertaining, precise, and professional.Thesis (B.?)Honors Colleg
