CARL CARTER—The Journey of a Broadway, Touring & Studio Musician
Klein Theatre Arts Master Class Workshop
The sign-up period for this class has ended.
No registration is necessary. There is ample space in our 1447-seat theater for social distancing. Masks are required.
Each session will feature: (1) an interview with the guest artist to learn about his/her career path and influences, (2) a demonstration of the skills and craft of the artist’s field of endeavor, and (3) an interactive component where audience members are brought on stage to gain instruction in that craft. Maureen Hamill, Director of Education for Klein Theatre Arts, is the moderator.
