OnStage in School
(Pictured above, OnStage in School master class with cast members from A Chorus Line and students from Homer Center High School.)
The Program
OnStage in School is an educational program providing area high school students an opportunity to attend workshops, master classes and one-on-one Q & A sessions with musicians, dancers, artists and entertainers from national Broadway, comedy and music tours.
OnStage in School has been recognized by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development as an “innovative and educational program,” and as such, is an eligible organization under the Educational Improvement Tax Credit (EITC) program. OnStage in School is conducted without any cost to the school districts.
The Classes
Professional artists interact with students on the day of their Fisher Auditorium show through dance, improv, piano, guitar, songwriting and discussion.
Previous master classes were taught by artists from “Stomp,” “Annie,” “Lord of the Dance,” and “Who’s Live Anyway” – just to name a few. The 2010-2011 program is currently underway and has been very well received.
