Musical Theater
Age : Girls and boys entering grades 2 through 9.

This program is for the youngster who wishes to be totally immersed in musical theater or the camper who is eager to experience the joy of dancing, singing and acting on the stage. All campers receive valuable theater experience.

Morning Workshop (Grades 2-5): ): WooHoo! Young campers are invited to experience the many facets of our musical theater group. They begin with some rockin' dance/movement warm-ups, followed by fun vocalizations. Campers work on "audition" songs to practice and learn skills, including proper breathing, phrasing, how to use a microphone, etc. Campers are highlighted in solo and/or group musical numbers. Positive strengths in performance are encouraged in order to instill confidence. Kids who have never been on stage before will feel just as comfortable as those who are experienced thespians- this is a super fun, welcoming environment! There is a culminating workshop open to parents, relatives and friends at the end of each session.

Afternoon Workshop (Grades 6-9): Campers MUST enroll in the last four weeks (Sessions 2 and 3) or the full six weeks (Sessions 1, 2 and 3) because of rehearsal requirements that culminate in a special evening performance on Thursday, August 12, 2010, utilizing skills learned in workshop activities. This is a place for young adults to learn, grow, hone their skills, cut their chops, and, above all else, get the chance to perform! The final show features an eclectic line-up of songs-everything from classic Broadway to current musical theater. Rehearsals for the show encompass all areas of ensemble participation. The perfect place for the curious budding actor or the experienced rock star just itching to tear up the stage. Come play with us!
