Have you ever wanted to be in the limelight? Take a step onto the stage? Find out what all goes into producing a play? Join us for Musical Theatre Jr. Camp and come alive! We will be exploring character development, costuming, makeup, singing and learning choreography as we prepare to perform a musical. We’ll wrap up the week with a performance showcase for family and friends. It’s time to take the stage and come alive!
Students will memorize a 45-minute show to perform in a week’s worth of rehearsals.
After the first day of auditions, actors will be made aware of simple clothing items that may be brought from home to assist with costuming.
