CSP Cabaret Workshop
July 17th-August 2nd
Instructors: Patrick Murray and Krista Thomas
Center Stage Productions is introducing its first ever Cabaret Workshop! This workshop is for performers looking to take the next step as an artist and to improve their skills as an auditioner. We want to help develop your artistry through encouraging you to take risks that will take your storytelling skillset to the next level and thereby build your comfortability performing in an audition room. This Cabaret Workshop will run weekdays starting Wednesday July 17th thru August 2nd from 2 P.M. to 5 P.M. and will end in a culminating Cabaret Showcase of the pieces workshopped and coached throughout the class on August 2nd at 7 P.M.
We will be tackling important audition and performance tools including:
Book-Building
Resume-Crafting
Choosing Effective Audition Cuts
Storytelling Through Song
Slating and Video Auditions
​
Instructors Patrick Murray and Krista Thomas will be selecting and individually assigning material to each performer in the workshop. You will leave the course with at least three new pieces for your book that will span three popular audition genres: Contemporary, Golden Age, and Pop/Rock.
​
Two mock auditions at both the beginning and end of the course will track your growth throughout the workshop and give you the opportunity to flex the skills you have learned. Additionally, we will have Free-Sing Fridays, during which you can bring in material that you would like to workshop with us in the room.
​
This workshop will bridge the gap between the personal and the artistic, allowing you to embrace a perspective that is uniquely yours that will make you stand out from the crowd at any audition. We are excited to see you this summer, and we can’t wait to make music with you all!

​July 26th and 27th at 11:00 A.M.
​
Disney’s Finding Nemo Jr. is a musical adaptation of the beloved 2003 Pixar movie Finding Nemo, with new music by award-winning songwriting team Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez.
Marlin, an anxious and over-protective clownfish, lives in the Great Barrier Reef with his kid Nemo, who longs to explore the world beyond their anemone home. But when Nemo is captured and taken to Sydney, Marlin faces his fears and sets off on an epic adventure across the ocean. With the help of lovable characters such as optimistic Dory, laid-back sea turtle Crush, and the supportive Tank Gang, Marlin and Nemo both overcome challenges on their journey to find each other and themselves. Featuring memorable songs such as “Just Keep Swimming,” “Fish Are Friends Not Food,” and “Go With the Flow,” Finding Nemo JR. brings a vibrant underwater world to life on stage in a story full of family, friendship, and adventure.

Beautiful: The Carole King Musical
​
August 8th, 9th, and 10th at 8:00 P.M.
August 11th at 2:00 P.M.
​
Before she was hit-maker Carole King — she was Carole Klein, a spunky, young songwriter from Brooklyn with a unique voice. From the chart-topping hits she wrote for the biggest acts in music to her own life-changing, trailblazing success with Tapestry, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical takes you back to where it all began — and takes you on the ride of a lifetime.
Beautiful is the inspiring tale about a girl who became King with a stirring book by the late Oscar and Tony-nominated Douglas McGrath and the music and lyrics of icons Carole King, Gerry Goffin, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. Featuring such unforgettable classics as "You've Got a Friend", "One Fine Day", "So Far Away", "Take Good Care of My Baby", "Up on the Roof", "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling", "Will You Love Me Tomorrow", and "Natural Woman", this Tony® and Grammy® Award-winning musical phenomenon is filled with the songs you remember and a story you'll never forget.
