Virtual Vocal Performance Intensive/Rodgers & Hammerstein These students joined DMR this summer for a week long vocal intensive to develop skills such as: music theory, practice techniques, piano skills, and learning new repertoire. About Rogers & Hammerstein: The emergence of musical theatre as a popular form of performance was widely attributed to the composer/lyricist duo, Rodgers and Hammerstein, who came onto the Broadway scene in the early 1940s. This duo, along with other musical theatre trailblazers, ignited what is now known as the Golden Age of Broadway musicals. The musicals of this era offered audiences a new perspective on the changing world they were living in and redefined the theatre community. Many of these beloved musicals remain stage favorites and continue to appear on Broadway in the form of revivals.

The Theatre for Youth Division of the Virginia Theatre Association (VTA) worked with the writers of Will & Whit to create the first virtual production of the musical. 22 Students from Virginia and beyond were cast in this online premiere and worked for two weeks to create this production, which was showcased at the VTA Annual Conference in October, 2020. Enjoy Will & Whit, the virtual musical! The following schools in Virginia were represented by one more actors in this production: Brookville Middle School Thomas Dale High School Warhill High School Monticello High School Western Albemarle High School Metropolitan School for the Arts WT Woodson High School John Champe High School Westfield High School Massaponax High School Falls Church HIgh School.
