Backstage tours and classes? (extra tidbits that don't get mentioned often)

[1time]

I have read about an improv class and a backstage tour for the theatre - I am hoping to do any or all of these type of activities with my 9 year old daughter. If anyone could let me know what other interesting things of a similar nature they did and when I would appreciate it.

We did a backstage tour with the cast of Harispray and the dance lead from Come Fly with me. FIrst they answered questions and then we had a on-your-own tour of the backstage. The cast stayed around for pictures, autographs and questions, My 11 year old daughter liked it. We also did a cup cake decorating class. It was a lot of fun but you must sign up quickly since classes are limited. If you don't get on a list show up anyway in case there is a no-show.

where do you sign up for cup cake class ?

[RBKL]

At the Cupcake place. It is open at boarding. Just a few kids classes and a couple of adult classes with 8 people in each.

How much was the cupcake class?

[RBKL]

$17.50 per person. It was worth it and fun. You get the cupcake and either an apron, t-shirt or chef's hat. Kids can do the adult class as long as they are safe with knives. We made a big mac and fries cupcake.

I believe the backstage tours are invitation only. That is the only way I have seen them offered so far. I think it was for Suite and Diamond+

[callaghan0416]

I saw that too, but I "think" i remeber discussion of a tour with AO, and just wanted to confirm....(or deny) the myth

 

thanks
