Scholar Series

MTH’s Scholar Series is a way to connect to the source material that inspired the musicals. An opportunity to come together in community to discuss the novel or play the musical was based on, to screen the film adaptation and discuss the similarities and differences, as well as collectively attending MTH’s production and engaging in the post-show discussion with the actors. TOTALLY FREE TO ATTEND* we will also provide light snacks and wine to commemorate the fellowship! Unless otherwise noted, all events take place at MTH!

 *does not include tickets to the MTH production

Character Building

Exploring Animal Characters: 
6 Saturdays: Sep. 7 – Oct. 12 
An important part of musical theater is creating fun characters! In this class, students will sing and dance to music from musicals like The Lion King and Madagascar to explore animal characters. We will have fun moving and grooving to the beat of the music in these famous animal musicals.
