I performed two musical theatre songs in this showcase. In a small group of three, I performed "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" from Fiddler on the Roof and the class performed "What I Did For Love" from A Chorus Line.
I played a small part in the Fall 2024 Dance Show in the Latin Dance section with my classmates. We performed Tango, Salsa, Bachata, and Merengue. It was such an exciting learning experience that I am overjoyed to have participated in.
My second Musical Theatre Showcase was such a treat! I had such a wonderful year in this class and it was such a fun culminating show. I sang in "Wait for Me (Reprise)" from Hadestown and in "Gold (Acapella)" from Once as ensemble peices. My friend Comet and I did a duet; "Partner in Crime" from Tuck Everlasting. And I sang two solos; "Dirty Dudes Must Die" from Nerdy Prudes Must Die and "My Funny Valentine" from Babes in Arms.
During the 2023-2024 school year I joined my high school's improv team. It was a fantasic way to expand my social, acting, and quick thinking skills. I truly felt so much growth personally during my time as a part of this ensemble and I had so much fun, too!
Suessical was the spring musical at my high school and I was so lucky to be cast in the ensemble despite having minimal free time. I had so much fun and learned so much about the world of musical theatre through this show.
Our first Musical Theatre Showcase was quite informal, but we had a lot of fun performing! I sang "What If?" from Firebringer as a solo. The whole class sang "Falling Slowly (Acapella)" from Once and "Seasons of Love" from Rent.
