Corinna creates a non-intimidating environment where everyone can shine.”

The NiCori Teen Performance Ensemble will be spending the Fall semester creating the full length musical, CHICAGO: Teen Edition. This skill-building course will focus on the core elements of Musical Theatre; singing, acting, and this time with a specific focus on the Musical Theatre ground breaking choreography style of Bob Fosse.
