Come From Away | Tuesday, June 30
There's no need to be Canadian to join music educator Mateo Chavez Lewis for two FREE classes on Come From Away. These hour-long classes are offered at Noon and 7 pm ET, and your registration means you can come to both!
Why is 'Me and the Sky' so heartbreaking musically? How does the folk sound compare to other musicals of the day? Find out how the music works to connect the strangers onstage to the strangers in the audience with Mateo's expert and beginner-friendly guidance.
Perfect for theatre lovers, students, and curious minds alike—this class will grow your appreciation for a contemporary classic that'll be performed for years to come. Registering for the class allows you access the Zoom at both times, so please come when it's convenient, since the material will be the same at both times.
These classes are offered at Noon & 7 PM ET.
