<p>For anybody in the Pacific Northwest, Jason Robert Brown is coming to Portland to perform a concert of his work, along with Shoshanna Bean (Elphaba in Wicked national tour). The concert will be on January 28. Shoshanna Bean is giving a master class for advanced MT students on the next day, the 29th. This is being sponsored by Staged!, a small but great theater company here. Info can be obtained by googling Staged! or checking them out on Facebook. It will be a great send-off for my daughter as we leave for audition trip.</p>
<p>He is doing the same at Casa Manana in Fort Worth, Texas, on February 25, except with a different girl (can’t remember her name.) My info says JRB is leading the master class, and it is the same day, before the concert. My D asked for this as one of her Christmas gifts, so she will be there.</p>
<p>Jason’s concerts are so much fun, especially if he brings his band with him. Your Ds are in for a treat! I hadn’t heard of him doing master classes with high school kids, this must be something new. Usually, he has master class workshops for professional performers, in conjunction with his concerts.</p>
<p>JRB is not doing our master class- its taught by Shoshanna Bean. She is an Oregon native who has been on Broadway/national tours of Wicked and Hairspray. She is supposed to be very witty and a good teacher.</p>
<p>Yes, I saw that you mentioned that, 4inoregon. I know Shoshana. She’s a very talented young woman. 
My comment was in reference to musicmom’s post.</p>
<p>alwaysamom - JRB did a master class for one of the theatres my D was involved in here at home when they were doing his musical “13.”</p>
