Musical Creation Workshop - “Share Your Story”
New Moon Productions’ Musical Theatre Creation Workshop is an enriching and life affirming music & theatre education program. Our teachers guide children (generally ages 10 to 17) in the creation and production of an original music theatre performance piece based on an idea or issue that is deeply felt by the students.
Bring this to your school or organization.
