Our FindYourLight program provides an engaging introduction to the creation of a brand-new musical through hands-on learning and performance. Students will develop essential skills while being a part of the development of the new musical, Grace and the Butterfly Effect by Clifford Lee Johnson III & Greg Alexander (book, lyrics, and music by Jane Kelley).
Grace and the Butterfly Effect is an exciting new musical about courage, friendship, and resilience through one girl’s quest to save the butterflies from becoming extinct. This original piece will be produced and directed by working professionals at Skylight Music Theatre, Milwaukee’s home for music theatre.
Instruction emphasizes performing skills, character development, and the art of taking direction and applying feedback in real time, fostering growth and confidence on stage. There will be one professional performer as part of the production. The program culminates in a performance that is open to family and friends. The added excitement of being a part of the creation of a new musical is a rare experience, as the work takes place over the course of this program, will forever be a part of this new musical as it moves on to other theatres across the country and world.
