AMTC: Acting in Musicals Edition – With Mina Kaye!
Scroll to top
Our Stage Door course is designed to give students an experience of performing musical theatre songs and scenes live on stage to a supportive audience as well as developing skills in singing, dancing and acting. We believe in working as an ensemble and we will focus our efforts in working in a full ensemble and smaller group scenes of 3-4 performers to allow everyone to experience the skills of performing alongside others, having their moment on stage but without the pressure of a cental lead role or stressful solo moment. Our focus on ensemble gives everyone a chance to be featured and challenged at their own unique level as our staff choose songs and scenes that are tailored to everyone’s individual performance journey.
Each week the teacher will design songs and scenes for students to work on that will eventually be placed in the final showcase. These are specifically chosen to bring new skills and techniques to the course to allow everyone to not only practice for the showcase but improve their skills along the way.
Week 1 will start with a full group song and dance number where students will learn ensemble choreography and harmonies. Then week by week, students will be placed into smaller groups to work on songs and scenes from a variety of exciting musical theatre shows giving everyone an exciting role to focus on in their showcase.
Please note from time to time we do encourage students to get together to have extra individual practices before the showcase.
Students get to perform in a musical theatre showcase in our Blackbox theatre. With professional lighting and sound and directed by professionals, our showcases are a magical and intimate experience performing to a supportive audience of friends and family.
This advanced course is designed exclusively for students with prior experience in AMTC or Showstopper, offering a deeper exploration of acting techniques, ensemble work, and performance artistry. Students will analyze script and song and integrate their research in performances of small group numbers, focusing on character development, emotional authenticity, and dynamic storytelling.
A key emphasis of the course is navigating diverse group dynamics, fostering collaboration, and building strong ensemble connections. Students will learn how to harmonize their individual contributions with the group’s overall performance, creating cohesive and impactful scenes. Whether exploring layered relationships in a duet or bringing vibrant energy to a trio or small group, participants will deepen their understanding of teamwork and elevate their artistry through shared creative expression.

Our Showcase semester is uniquely designed to develop our West End Stars Triple Threat skills, bringing together their Singing, Dancing and Acting skills alongside their stagecraft and stage discipline too. West End stars will work on several three week long projects focusing on different popular musicals. Breaking the semester into individual proejcts allows us to not only learn the skills but learn more about different shows in more detail. The curriculum is both challenging their skills and keeps them engaged and motivated in their learning.
Each three-week project throughout the semester will focus on one musical and then engage students will song, dance and scenes from this show learning about the show, its history and the charaters within the learning.
An example curriculum breakdown would be if we work on the musical Matilda:
Week 1 – Introduce the show, characters and plot. Learn the choreography & dance style for Revolting Children.
Week 2 – Revise choreography for Revolting children, work on singing skills for this song focusing on harmony and vocal style, look at characters in the scene leading up to the song
Week 3 – After learning the scene over the last week students will be put into groups of 3 to be directed in the scene leading up to the song. Students will then perform the scene and the song back to each other in class and asked to remember the performance for the end of semester showcase.
Usually in a semester we would focus on 4 shows and then have other additional one-off skills workshops to cover other specific performance or industry skills.
The goal for this semester is process driven but along the way students will prepare for a small end of semester presentation. It is important that the West End stars spend time to hone their skills rather than just always focusing on the show or end product so throughout the semester they will be encouraged to reflect on their own learning journey and progress.
The focus of the curriculum is to build each individual students performance skills through ensemble-based learning developing the skill of mastering your own performance alongside listening and working with your fellow actors on stage.
At the end of the semester, our West End Stars will gather selected performance items from their three-week projects this semester to showcase to friends and family in our end of term showcase. This is billed as a presentation of work rather than a show and a chance for students to put their new skills to practice, reflect on the achievements they have made and for parents to see the progression of their skills.
Our skills semester is uniquely designed to develop our Broadway Stars Triple Threat skills, bringing together their Singing, Dancing and Acting skills alongside their stagecraft and stage discipline too.

The 9 performers will work as an ensemble reparatory company working closely together developing a meaningful performance that will be presented in a virtual production at the end of the course.

Having trained and worked as a performer as well as sitting on many audition panels, he can help students create the perfect performance or audition song that is grounded in technique and confidence.
TJ currently lectures voice technique and musical theatre repertoire classes on the Musical Theatre Degree at Lasalle College of the Arts Singapore. He also teaches private lessons both to beginners and professional performers across Singapore, helping them understand their voice and nail their performance.
Hailing from the sunny island of Singapore, Vanessa Kee is an actress, singer, dancer, and musician, who aspires to encourage empathy through her work.
During her time at LASALLE, she was awarded both the prestigious Future Leaders Scholarship and the LASALLE Scholarship through her motivation and dedication as an artist. Her most notable lead roles while pursuing her education include playing the titular role Aida in AIDA the musical (Dir. Joe Barros), and Tzeitel in Fiddler on the Roof (Dir. Emily Maltby).
Upon graduating in 2019 with a First Class Honors Degree in Musical Theatre, Vanessa delved into the professional theater world with her debut in Pangdemonium’s newest musical, Urinetown (Dir. Tracie Pang), followed by a lead role in Sing’Theatre’s very own Asian premier of West End’s A Spoonful of Sherman (Dir. TJ Taylor), where she was privileged to work with Singapore’s best theater veterans.
An extensive piano and choir background have allowed Vanessa to develop a strong sense of musicality and experience, having taught her first musical theater classes before graduation. She has amassed many students while teaching adult and children classes with multiple studios, including private classes. Vanessa thoroughly enjoys sharing the love of musical theater with people of all ages and is excited to aid others in honing their skills and passion for the art form.
Vanessa is grateful for the generosity she has received through her journey and is thrilled to be joining Sing’Theatre’s amazing teaching team – to pay it forward to those who share the love of performance.
