Overview

A rare chance to build acting and singing skills using some of the best material in the musical theatre canon: songs for two. The goal of the course is to develop advanced skills in listening and interacting (both of which are hard to do with solos!). Students will work on both exemplary duets and the dialogue that leads into them, moving beyond the solo repertoire to develop facility with all aspects of musical theatre performance. 

Class Size*

6-10 

* Note: Small class sizes are a fundamental part of our training philosophy at The Theatre Lab. Classes are intentionally kept small to ensure every person receives extensive personalized feedback from instructors and meaningful collaboration with other students. If a class is full, we encourage you to join the waitlist, and we will contact you if a spot becomes available.

Prerequisites or Prior Experience

No formal prerequisites are necessary. Experience with duets is not required, but students should have some singing experience and be able to learn songs mostly on their own with the helps of recordings.

Students who take this class have also have taken one of the following acting or musical theatre classes at The Theatre Lab: 

• Intro to Acting*
• Beginning Scene Study*
• Acting a Song
• Getting Started in Musical Theatre
• Musical Theatre Workshop

* Note: For new students with no prior acting experience, we recommend starting with Intro to Acting, and then taking Beginning Scene Study, for our essential training in the basics of acting.
