Description

Hello and welcome to CYT! I’m so excited to be back for my fourth round of teaching Our Gang. I can’t wait to build on everything I've learned over the last few years to create a class that is both structured and imaginative. This session, we will be focusing on all elements of musical theater—acting, singing, and dancing. We will go over basic theater terminology, learn a song and dance for the showcase, have craft days, and, of course, play games! In addition to the showcase, the littles will also get a chance to perform on stage before one of CYT’s Spotlight shows to experience what it’s like to perform under the lights. In my class, I strive to create an environment that cultivates learning, creativity, imagination, problem-solving, teamwork, and, most importantly, FUN! Being silly and having a great time are always at the top of my list, so come along and grapevine your way into Spring!


Each of our shows has a limited number of spaces and age caps to ensure the best possible experience for our students. If the show is already full, you will be placed onto a waiting list when signing up for your audition slot.  See Audition Info for more info.

Teacher:


Amber Herfurth

My name is Amber and I am a Santa Cruz native! I spent 13 years in Los Angeles going to school for musical theater and found myself sporadically doing film and television. After having my daughter in 2021, we moved back home to lead a more peaceful existence than what LA had to offer. My love of theater and acting is still strong and I'm always delighted when it crosses my path, especially in teaching form!
