At TADW, we offer electives in musical theatre, playwriting and improvisation as well as two new offerings in technical theatre and audition technique - college prep. You should pick the elective that interests you the most. Note that students in the playwriting elective are expected to write short plays for our annual “10 Minute Play Festival,” and the actors for those short plays come from TADW’s “improvisation” elective. The Improvisation elective also presents an Evening of Improv on Friday evening June 23rd. Meanwhile, students in the musical theatre elective stage a showcase of their work at the end of the session entitled “Munch & Crunch.” The students selected for the Audition Technique - College Prep must be 11th, 12th, or just graduated high school. They will present mock auditions to the TADW faculty that include monologues and prepared songs. These elective projects are in addition to the musical and the play.
Electives
On the application, it asks me to pick my “elective.” What should I pick?
If I select it, will I automatically be in the musical theatre elective?
Not necessarily. The musical theatre elective is always popular and enrollment is subject to instructor approval. Because class size is limited, some students may not receive their first choice elective. Trust the process and the faculty to put you in an elective where your talents will grow and shine .
