Broadway Night 2021 Theme: Screen & Stage Show Dates
February
27, 2021
To include 5-8 grade students from our pyramid schools
It’s a musical theatre intensive where students have the opportunity to develop their skills in voice, acting, dance, and work with a variety of professional artists in the performing arts. ● This year, we will have a virtual show. ● Students will be a part of 1 feature number + 1 full cast number ● Students will meet weekly, through Google Meet, with teachers & be provided learning videos to practice as well. ● Rehearsal will be after school & on Saturdays ● This year’s show dates will be February 27. ● We will be finished recording for the show by mid-January so that we have enough time to produce the numbers. ● Students will be taught how to record from their homes. ● They will need headphones & 2 devices for recording (1 to listen to music, 1 to record) We will be working with a local TV Production company who will professionally stream our show!
TV Worldwide, Inc. Here’s an idea of the cool things we can do with this year’s show! This features students in MS & HS from across FCPS. Our Director, Mrs. Gigliotti was the Music Director and the Assistant Director, Harrison de Wolfe was the engineer and Jeremy Ragsdale was the accompanist for this number! ★ Students bring the same level of commitment & energy to the virtual platform as they would in person. ★ Students practice their music & dance daily to build it into their muscle memory. ★ Student meet deadlines. ★ Students are on time and attend their weekly rehearsals. ★ Students communicate any concerns to Mrs.Gigliotti. ★ Students maintain patience & flexibility. ★ Students show dedication to excellence.
