Competitive Monologue and Scene opportunities:
Students have the option to compete a monologue or a scene with another student. BravO! Dance and Talent Competition offers the wonderful chance for theater performers to compete at Regional and National competitions. Each student must have an audition/meeting with teacher Hannah to be evaluated before determining if the performer is ready to compete.
Students who compete need to keep actively working on the craft of learning and growing as an actor and performer. To this end, students are required to participate in either session of a VDT theater class or perform in a play or musical throughout the studio season at school, a community theater, or a professional theater.
Recreational Monologue/Scene opportunities:
Students will have the option to perform a monologue or scene (3 students max in group) at our theater recital at the end of the season. This would be a recreational specialty number to help students gain confidence, work on showmanship and memorization!

Our 8th season was our first season we were able to have a stand alone Theater Recital! To honor this, we created a Theater Alumni Piece to the song 'Louder Than Words' from the acclaimed musical Tick, Tick...Boom! We invited back all past and current theater students to participate in an unforgettable, moving piece to kick off the Theater Recital. This is now a tradition we would love to continue this season!
*All past and present students are eligible to participate*
