MTC visits High Tech musical theatre for series of master classes
Musical theater majors at High Tech High School (a countywide public high school based in North Bergen) recently read an advance copy of “The Lost Lake,” a world premiere play written by Tony Award-winner David Auburn and directed by Tony winner Daniel Sullivan, the team responsible for the Pulitzer Prize-winning “Proof” and “The Columnist.” An engrossing, revealing portrait of two strangers bound by circumstance, “The Lost Lake” dramatizes the struggle for human connection in an imperfect world.
As part of an alliance with Manhattan Theatre Club (MTC), the students worked on improvisational theatre and original script work based on the play and composed original material, performing it in class with professional actors. Already in deep preparation for their upcoming “Magic of Disney” production in January and spring production of “A Chorus Line,” the majors visited MTC’s production of “Country Home” with Blythe Danner and look forward to the upcoming “Constellations” with Jake Gyllenhaal.
“I feel that it’s imperative that students are exposed to artists working in the professional theatre world,” says Alex Perez, director of High Tech Musical Theatre. “We are excited to create new alliances with such an incredible theatre company as Manhattan Theatre Club.”
Founded in 1970 and committed to the creation of new plays and musicals through an intensive Artistic Development Program, MTC presents original works on its stages. MTC’s Education Program promotes active participation in the arts through in-class instruction, student and family matinees, teacher training, internships, and online distance learning. MTC includes a subscriber base of 20,000 at present and showcases its productions at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre.
