As participants in our summer program, students will not only produce a musical theatre show, but will also develop a deeper understanding and mastery of the craft of musical theatre. Students will shift between show preparation and music/theatre games and skill building exercises to ensure active engagement in theatre work throughout the entire camp experience.

Students may study scene interpretation, character development, vocal techniques, improvisation, vocal and physical expression, theatre vocabulary, audition techniques, dance techniques/vocabulary, music reading/interpretation, and memorization techniques. They will also develop their physical stamina and collaborative skills, while improving their confidence and resilience.

Details will be emailed to all registered participants at the end of April. We can’t wait to work together with all of you!
