The showcase will be an original performance, "The Gnomes Garden," in which little animals lovingly tend a garden, only to have a gusty wind nearly destroy their efforts (spoiler: its a happy ending ;). The objective of this course is to grow young student's ability to follow direction, work as a troupe, build self-confidence, and instill a sense of accomplishment all within the context of musical theater.
Limited to 8 students.
