Musical Theater Workshop is offered to campers aged 9-13 for all three sessions:

Session 1: June 24th -July 5th (no camp July 4th)   
Session 2: July 8th -July 19th  
Session 3: July 22nd – August 2nd

Note that the sessions of this workshop are independent, and will focus on staging different shows.  Children are welcome to register for one or more sessions.

Musical Theater Workshop Program Description

The activities in this workshop are exclusively geared toward developing a live musical theater performance at every stage of production.  In addition to working on musical theater skills like singing, dancing, and creating stage characters, students will also have a chance to flex their creativity in devising the show’s script. Each session, students will begin by learning a range of classic and contemporary musical theater songs and then through creative writing prompts and improvisation games, create their own unique musical. A full blown production, with students creatively involved in every phase, is mounted in just nine days. The highlight of the camp – the performance – takes place on the final Friday of each session, followed by clean-up and celebration.  It is strongly recommended that campers are present for all days of their registered session(s).

Times and Location
Musical Theater Workshop meets Monday-Friday from 9:00am-4:00pm at the  Charlton Street Campus (40 Charlton Street). Performers will rehearse in several newly-renovated movement and voice studios.  Performances take place on the large state-of-the-art stage with dynamic lighting and live, professional piano accompaniment.

Session 2: Friday, July 19th, afternoon time TBA

We take air-conditioned, chartered buses to age-appropriate locations for activities that are educational and lots of fun. Our priority is to take trips that give campers the opportunity to be in a natural setting or a museum worth exploring as a group. In order to maintain a very safe adult to camper ratio, Specialists accompany home groups as additional adults on field trips. Trips take place on Fridays.

On trips we maintain a 1 to 6 counselor to camper relationship. For this reason, we do not ask for parents or caregivers to accompany groups on trips.
