Production Rehearsal and Performance is designed to explore the ensemble world of Music Theatre and the extended application of performance skills in a real-world theatrical setting. Performance work will be aligned with the requirements of ‘on-stage’ knowledge.

Activities will be process-based and allow students the time to develop practical abilities in a cumulative way.
