Teen Musical Theatre Workshop in Shelton to stage 'One Moment in Time'


SHELTON - The Teen Musical Theatre Workshop, more commonly referred to as "Fall Cab", is a Broadway musical revue featuring high school students held in the beginning of November each year.
The revue will be performed Fridays and Saturdays, Nov. 2, 3, and 9,10, and at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 4 at Center Stage Theatre, 54 Grove St. Tickets are $15.

The program promotes an enthusiasm and a love for musical theatre performance.
Cast members of the Teen Musical Theatre Workshop grow not only as performers, but as people too, while having fun in the process!
As performers, teens are taught valuable skills in "selling" a song, in solo and ensemble singing, and in dancing. In the process, cast members also learn that great performances are the result of great rehearsals.
Other important skills learned during the rehearsal period include: working with deadlines, preparedness, precision, responsibility, organization, and group collaboration.
Many participants say the Teen Musical Theatre Workshop has benefited them by teaching them not only about theatre, but also by teaching them lessons for life.
