520 $a This dissertation explores the high school musical theater experience and the extent to which it affects the students who participate. It presents data from high school students' perspectives as performers or technicians in reference to their musical and performance development, personal effects, social contexts, and negative effects. Research methodologies include both qualitative and quantitative data from three case study portraits and nine case study sketches. Based on verbatim transcripts from taped interviews the researcher identified commonalties or themes of effects.
520 $a Students experienced multiple positive and minimal negative effects. Positive data revealed that the expressive qualities of music and the performance demands of energy provided some of the largest impact on both performers and technicians. Students' own words present performance effects, and the differences in performing in musicals, operas, plays, children's theater, and concerts. The musical and the music has a larger effect than a purely musical nature; it is connected with selfhood, expression, the unity of the human being, and the unity of the group engaged in a live common enterprise and purpose. Performers and technicians are affected by the integration of the dialogue, singing, and dancing. Creatively there is a powerful effect regarding the spontaneity of the dialogue ending and the process of progressing into song. The combination of these events creates a magical whole for performers, cast members, and the audience. Personal and social effects were intertwined, and whenever there was personal growth it was in some way connected to a social setting. There was a sense of belonging together, a sense of oneness, being involved in something bigger, learning more about themselves, and becoming better persons. Social benefits of closer friendships, social activities, and being part of a group were discussed along with minimal negative effects of stress and tension.
520 $a The data support the researcher's belief that musical theater can be an important tool for recruiting non-music students into high school music programs. The study supports the praxial philosophy of music education, and it also provides some legitimacy to the study of musical theater in secondary and post-secondary education.
