Upcoming CLO Academy Master Classes

Coming up: An Exclusive Grease Master Class!

Join us for an exciting Master Class with Grease cast member Christina Sivrich on Friday, March 12, 2010 from 4:30pm to 6pm.

Christina is a Point Park graduate recently seen on Broadway in Grease and The Wedding Singer. She is currently touring with the National Tour of Grease in the Ensemble and u/s for Pink Lady's Frenchy and Jan. In fact, if you see the show the weekend after the Master Class, you'll have a chance to see her in those roles! We're especially excited to have Christina with us since there has been so much excitement for our own All-Academy Musical production of Grease, and we've opened the class up to students ages 8-18 to accomodate the tremendous interest.

Students will do musical theater warm-ups together and learn the "Hand Jive" from the show Grease. Christina will conclude the class with a Q&A regarding the show and the performing arts business in general.

The cost is $50 and you do not need to be a CLO Academy student to attend.

We anticipate this class will fill up quickly. Register online today!
