August 1st, 2012
Hello everyone! July has been a whirlwind here at NSMA and I am thinking this month is going to be the same thing – we have a TON of things going on in August, so I’m just going to jump in!
Musical Theater Master Workshop: Congratulations to the 12 NSMA students who participated in our first two-week long master workshop! I am so proud of all of you, everyone did fantastic!!
Fall Registration: Pre-registration for current NSMA students has now ended. If you/your child is a current student and haven’t signed up for fall lessons, please contact me ASAP. For those on the wait list, I will have a few openings and will be contacting you during the first week of August to see if we can get you signed up for lessons.
Fall Lessons: Fall lessons start MONDAY, AUG. 20th. This date is different than originally stated, so please make sure to mark the change in your calendars!!
Performing Opportunity: I am so excited to let my voice students know that I will be teaming up with Theater At Latitude 58 as the vocal director for their fall production, Roger’s & Hammerstein’s “Once Upon A Mattress.” The production is a musical comedy and will be for students aged 11-24. Auditions are Saturday Aug. 18th (the weekend before school starts), please contact me or visit www.theateratlatitude58.com for more information.
