Step into the spotlight with Sister Stages: Celebrating Women in Musical Theatre, a joyful and energizing musical theatre course celebrating the iconic roles, songs, and stories of women in musical theatre. Guided by veteran director Laurel Smith of Burning Passions Theatre Company, participants will explore rich ensemble material drawn from classic and contemporary musicals written for – and about – strong, dynamic female characters. Throughout the course, students will work on duets, trios, and full group numbers, developing vocal confidence, harmony skills, storytelling technique, and onstage connection. With a supportive, social atmosphere, this class is perfect for anyone who loves to sing, move, and collaborate.

The course culminates in a showcase performance, giving every participant the chance to shine and celebrate the power of women’s voices—onstage and beyond.

Fun, inspiring, and filled with community, Sister Stages is an empowering musical theatre journey for performers of all experience levels. This course will include both working with recorded music and an accompanist.
