SAC’s New Adult Musical Theatre Workshop Series To Provide Valuable Learning Opportunity

As the Steinbach Arts Council continues to grow, it’s taken the opportunity to expanding programming for adults, with the launch of a new musical theatre workshop series that promises to be an exciting and enriching experience. The Adult Musical Theatre Workshop Series is a new initiative building on the success of its Adult Improv and Theatre 101 classes (currently being taught by SAC instructor, Alan Fehr).

The new musical theatre workshop series will be led by instructor David Klassen, an experience university educator and director of many of SAC’s community musicals, including recent productions of Godspell and Fiddler on the Roof.

The Steinbach Arts Council has a successful history of producing high-quality community musicals that bring together talented individuals from all over the region, providing a platform for both seasoned performers and new talent. Through this workshop series, SAC is offering the community a chance to go behind the scenes and experience the inner workings of making a musical, guiding the participants through interactive staging and acting sessions, and masterclasses.

“We’ve always worked hard to make sure that all kids have a place where they can develop their skills and feel like they belong.  Those kids eventually turn into adults, and after 45 years of programming, it only makes sense to give adults the same opportunity to learn and develop their skills.” says David Klassen, instructor and Executive Director of SAC.

Participants will learn how to effectively use the performance space, support their fellow actors, and contribute to the overall success of the production. Additionally, participants will explore the art of singing and acting together, understanding the important role of the conductor and how to succeed as both a singer and a performer. The final workshop will culminate in a showcase of each student’s work, providing a chance to receive peer feedback and gain valuable tips and tricks for a successful performance.

The series, open to adults age 16 and older, of all skill levels, will take place over four workshops on the following dates: November 12, 2025, December 10, 2025, January 14, 2026, February 11, 2026.

Committed to making the arts affordable and accessible, all four workshops are available for a $100 fee, making this mentorship experience an accessible and valuable investment for those looking to explore their artistic talents.
