Do you know a 14-18-year-old who dreams of being on Broadway? Wharton Center is proud to welcome Paul Canaan and his non-profit arts organization, Take It From The Top, back to the Pasant Theatre on January 19, 2019, for a special collaboration with ANASTASIA, and we invite students to be a part.

The collaboration is a day-long immersion in Broadway production! In the morning, associate choreographer for ANASTASIA on Broadway, Adam Cates, with the help of some touring cast members* will work alongside students in master class sessions structured to improve singing, dancing, and acting skills and utilizing material straight from ANASTASIA. In the afternoon, students will watch this top-notch touring Broadway production and engage in a talkback session with the cast to discover what it is like to be a professional actor on a major national tour.

To maintain an atmosphere of direct mentoring with the professionals, class enrollment will be limited to 60 students, ranging from 14-18 years old. Registration for this extraordinary educational experience will go live at www.whartoncenter.com/tiftt on November 27 and will close January 3, 2019.
