At Wildarts, we believe in an "all hands on deck" approach to collaboration. This means everyone has a role to play in the production of our show. All Wildarts participants are a part of our Stage Crew. Our Musical Stage Crew members act as mimes, puppeteers, sound effects designers, costume designers, props and sets hands, assistant directors, lighting designers, and much more! It is our philosophy that everyone should have an opportunity to shine on stage (or behind the scenes if stage fright is a concern). The focus of our Theater program during Musical season is to choreograph our Stage Crew and Cast in preparation for the big day!
Mr. Anthony, our Theater Teaching Artist, writes and produces the stories we tell on stage with the creative input of our little stars. Our musicals also incorporate Ms. Alexis's hard-working Dance groups in the form of large blockbuster dances! We also rely on Mr. Nate's Music classes to write original songs for the show and to train our performers for choral and solo pieces. Behind the scenes, Ms. Ayleen's and Ms. Lydia's Visual Arts classes focus on designing sets, props, and costumes for the show. In short, Musical season touches just about every aspect of our programming--producing a show that's all about the vision of the children involved.
