Improvised Sondheim - June 2026

$65.00

Stephen Sondheim is one of the greatest composers in American musical theater history — think Sunday in the Park with GeorgeInto the Woods, and Sweeney Todd. We’ll use his incredible style to inspire our improvised songs.

No pressure, no perfection required — just a love of music, theater, and jumping in feet first. We'll guide you through everything.

Here's what we'll dig into:

  • Dramatic improv scenes that are raw and real.  This will supply the emotional fuel for our songs.

  • Singing in styles out of the Sondheim playbook - including inner monologues, layered lyrics and melodies, and patter songs.

Come ready to feel everything.  Leave having put it all to music.

Prerequisite: Completion of Westside Level 2 or the equivalent.  
*Some experience with music improv is helpful but not required for this workshop.

Date: June 27, 2026 from 2-5 pm
Cost: $65
Teacher: Yolanda G. Waddell

Musical Director: Sally Hepler
