We will begin by learning the history of how singing stories on stage (Opera) led to Broadway and how it developed from there. We’ll highlight particular shows through the decades, famous actors, famous sayings, and of course, the most memorable songs!

Caterina Santucci has been on the stage beginning as a child performing with the Pittsburgh Playhouse, the Chancery Lane Players, and others. She studied piano and voice with Pittsburgh's finest; Robert Cardillo, Shirley Barasch and Miriam Kelly. Her professional career as a singer and recording artist began after being discovered at an Italian festival and she went on to record popular and contemporary music for 10 years. Upon returning to Pittsburgh, she opened her school of music and has been teaching in the public and private sectors for over 20 years. She received her music education from Duquesne University, a political Science and Western European Studies degree from the University of Pittsburgh, and graduated with honors from City University of New York in Music studies encompassing Music Theory, Composition, History and Performance.
