Carol Fox Prescott and Stephen Kitsakos

Have you ever felt waves of joy surge through you as you let your voice ring out with the songs
of Rogers and Hammerstein, Irving Berlin, and the Gershwins? Drop your inhibitions and open
to the wonder, power, and pleasure of song. Not just your voice but your whole body responds
to the hallelujahs of music that come from the heart.
“I’ve got the sun in the morning and the moon at night.” “What a day. Fortune smiled and came
my way…” No matter what lyrics you love to sing, master musical theater coaches Carol Fox
Prescott and Stephen Kitsakos invite you to discover how to light up the joy within you.
Whether singing frightens or delights you, whether you’re a professional or an amateur, choose
a song, learn it by heart, bring it to the workshop, and let yourself be guided by the gentle
teachings of Carol and Stephen into an experience of outward expression of your inner light.
