This Spring we will discover the thrilling world of Melodrama with its Dashing Heroes and Damsels in Distress battling the evil machinations of the cold-blooded Villain where suspense, plot twists, music and spectacle abound! The Young Ensemble members will be encouraged to make bold vocal and physical choices in this early 19th Century theatrical style such as dramatic asides, the tableaux and sensational emotions.

Classes will be held Sundays, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. beginning in January.

Acceptance into the Young Ensemble is by audition or invitation only. The next audition will be January 15th between 3:30 pm and 5:00 pm. at Citadel's West Campus performance space. Call 847-735-8554 for information or email act@citadeltheatre.org
