BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL
Distance Learning Program
Tuesday, December 7, 2010
1:00 – 2:00 PM
Thrilling audiences worldwide and winning ten 2009 Tony Awards® including Best Musical, Billy Elliot The Musical is a joyous celebration of one young boy’s journey to make his dreams come true. Called “the most inspiring show I’ve seen in years” by Ben Brantley of The New York Times, the story follows Billy as he stumbles out of the boxing ring and into a ballet class, discovering a passion that takes him by surprise, and takes his whole family on an incredibly uplifting adventure.
Through a panel interview and Q&A session, your students will gain an understanding of the skills and competencies related to specific career fields in the performing arts directly from Broadway professionals. Teachers benefit from bringing professionals right into the classroom through the technology of distance learning! Our new Teacher’s Guide connects the experience to the classroom curriculum.
Join us on December 7 and introduce your students to a variety of careers and company members from the award-winning show BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL
