Acting for Musical Theatre, as part of the Schenectady High School's Musical Theatre Program @ Proctors, focuses on

developing acting skills in all styles and genres of theater, including musicals. From basic techniques of speaking, text analysis, character development and improvisation to performance skills, preparation and the ability to apply different approaches to acting in various settings, this class focuses on acting in the context of the program as a whole. Improvisation, company building activities, monologue work and scene study are all part of the curriculum, using a variety of texts and activities and developing observation and peer feedback skills. Individual and group performances are part of the work of the program, and acting is included in those performances.
