Service Description
[In Person] Spotlight on Broadway: The Magic of Musicals by Ana Lopez; on Thursdays, 5/15/2025- 6/19/2025, 6:00-8:00 pm CST on UT campus Take center stage and explore the dazzling world of Broadway! In this six-week course, students will dive into the history of musical theater, discover iconic shows like Hamilton and The Lion King, and learn how songs, dance, and storytelling bring productions to life. We’ll step behind the curtain to explore the many jobs that make a Broadway show happen, analyze famous musical numbers like Defying Gravity, and even try our hand at simple choreography and group songwriting. Each session features engaging discussions, fun activities like acting out scenes and building a Broadway timeline, and a chance to express creativity through performance. The course concludes with a Broadway Mini-Showcase, where students can shine in their own way—whether singing, dancing, or just celebrating the magic of musicals! No experience required—just a love for music, storytelling, and fun.
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
