Kuhn, who has taught at the New York City venue for over a decade, will teach Thursday afternoons, April 14-May 19. The course is open to actors who sing and singers who act. There is limited availability for the ten-person class; those interested should submit a headshot/resume to [email protected].

The master classes, according to press notes, are "for the singing actor that focuses on song interpretation and vocal performance. Students work individually on material of their choice with Tony Award nominee Judy Kuhn each class, as well as participate in group exercises. Students who take the class should come ready to play, feel free to experiment with material and take risks. Although this is not a vocal technique class, Judy will address individual technical concerns and make suggestions about how to approach working on them."

A three-time Tony Award nominee for her work in She Loves Me, Les Miserables and Chess, Judy Kuhn also starred in the concert mounting of Alan Menken and Tim Rice's King David and the Los Angeles premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard. Kuhn received an Obie Award for her work in the Off-Broadway Laura Nyro tribute, Eli's Comin', and played Fosca in the Kennedy Center mounting of Stephen Sondheim's Passion. Her solo recording is titled "Serious Playground - The Songs of Laura Nyro" (Ghostlight Records).

There is a $550 charge for the six-session course.
