As we step into 2025, Melodia Studio is proud to launch a year of extraordinary events designed to connect students with the magic of live performance and the inner workings of the performing arts industry. What better way to begin this journey than with a private group trip to see Shucked, the laugh-out-loud Broadway hit that has taken the theater world by storm?
This isn’t just a night at the theater. We are having an experience that brings student families together for an unforgettable evening of learning, laughter, and most importantly, inspiration!
The Shucked Talkback: Beyond the Curtain
What makes this event in particular so special is that Melodia Studio is hosting an exclusive pre-show talkback session with lead actor, Jake Odmark. Students will have the rare opportunity to meet with Jake and gain firsthand insights into his artistic process and career journey.
The talkback promises to be a masterclass in Broadway excellence. For those in particular with dreams of going pro in the performing arts industry, moments like these are invaluable. The talkback aims to illuminate the path from rehearsal rooms to opening nights.
Exclusive Events That Inspire and Elevate
The Shucked talkback and performance are just the beginning of Melodia Studio’s new slate of private events, designed to offer students unparalleled access to the performing arts world.
From professional workshops to university admissions panels, these events are more than extracurricular—they are the cornerstone of my commitment to holistic arts education.
The goal is simple: to provide experiences that not only nurture talent but also inspire confidence, curiosity, and community. Whether it’s through seeing live theater, participating in hands-on learning, or engaging in well-being activities like healing touch, Qigong, breathwork and sound healing, Melodia Studio ensures that every student’s journey is both creative and fulfilling.
Why Shucked?
For some of our students, this will be their first Broadway show, and we couldn’t have chosen a more perfect introduction. At its heart, Shucked is a story about community, resilience, and finding humor in life’s challenges—values that resonate deeply with Melodia Studio’s mission. Its clever writing and heartfelt performances remind us why storytelling through music and theater is so transformative. The show’s combination of wit, charm, and emotional depth mirrors the journey of every artist: finding joy in the process while staying true to oneself.
Join the Journey
As we count down to this extraordinary night, we invite you to join us in celebrating the transformative power of the arts, whether you’re a current student, a proud alum, or a friend of Melodia Studio. You can learn more here.
