Intensive Workshop and Classes for the upcoming production

This fantastic new musical will be performed in German, with the songs in their original English. While knowledge of English is beneficial, it is not mandatory as long as actors can accurately learn the lyrics and pronunciation.

Actors 16 and under:

Participation in workshops and classes is mandatory for actors 16 and under. These sessions will be multilingual (English and German) and aim to be both enjoyable and highly beneficial. Please review the workshop dates, and costs, as well as the rehearsal and performance schedule and inform Robb immediately about any conflicts. 

  • Schedule: Selected Wednesdays, Saturdays or Sundays (to be confirmed) from 8 August until the performances in December
  • Location: DANCE COMPLEX @ Vidmarhallen 3a, Liebefeld  //  NICCI’S SPACE @ Weltenbummler Atelier, Waldhöhweg 33a, 3013 Bern.
