Fall Class Line-up
Musical Theater Class: Playmakers Inspired by The Jungle Book
Grades K-1
The Jungle Book centers around Mowgli, a child raised by a pack of wolves in the Indian jungle. Under the guidance of Baloo the bear and Bagheera the panther, Mowgli learns the strict “Law of the Jungle” to survive. However, Mowgli faces constant danger from the villainous tiger Shere Khan. As Mowgli grows, his human identity creates conflict, and he ultimately must decide whether to stay with the animals of the jungle or forge his own path in the wild.
This class is perfect for the littlest of actors looking to get out of their shell, have fun with friends old and new, and feel proud of putting on a musical for their families to see at the end of the class session!

Musical Theater Class: Limelighters Inspired by The Addams Family
Grades 4-6
*Snap snap* Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family—a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before—keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the entire family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.
This class is great for budding young actors wanting to explore what it takes to put on a live musical. They’ll rehearse popular scenes and songs and explore characters from The Addams Family—plus they’ll get to show off their hard work in a performance on the Julia Morgan stage for families at the end of the class session!
Musical Theater Class: Triple Threat
Grades 4-7
Our popular Triple Threat class is back! Teachings throughout the class session will include monologue and group work, vocal lessons, and learning choreography. Students will explore what it takes to be a “triple threat”—a performer who can act, sing, and dance!
This class is great for young actors looking to improve or hone their musical theatre skills—perfect for helping them to excel in programs at Berkeley Playhouse or simply to express themselves and have FUN! Plus, students will get to show off their hard work in a final performance of solo and group vignettes for families at the end of the class session.
