Newnan Theatre Company

Newnan Theatre Company’s Academy of Theatre Arts offers musical theatre classes for elementary, middle and high school students. Classes focus on staging a performance. This performance-based class welcomes all levels of experience. Students will learn many facets of theatre, including stage directions, vocal technique, choreography, character development, set design, costuming, and more. Each student will be able to perform.

The elementary class is called Pioneers.

The middle school and high school class is called Trailblazers.

New this season we are adding a technical class for middle and high school students. The tech class, called Innovators, will learn the backstage part of a show.  They will learn how to find (or make!) props, design and build sets, and more! They will also work backstage at the performances.

Rodgers & Hammerstein’s first collaboration remains, in many ways, their most innovative, setting the standards and rules of modern musical theatre. In a Western territory just after the turn of the 20th century, a high-spirited rivalry between local farmers and cowboys provides a colorful background for Curly, a charming cowboy, and Laurey, a feisty farm girl, to play out their love story. Their romantic journey, as bumpy as a surrey ride down a country road, contrasts with the comic exploits of brazen Ado Annie and hapless Will Parker in a musical adventure embracing hope, determination and the promise of a new land.
