NEW! Two-Week Drama Camp!
Monday, July 23rd through Sunday, August 5th, same daily schedule as above. Two performances (subject to change by January): Thursday, August 2nd and Sunday, August 5th at 8pm
Now in its fourth year, the camp was created by Matt Okin and is run by him, along with Danny Hoffman, Giselle D’Souza, Mea Moon, Jesse Freedman, other professional teaching artists, and special entertainment industry guests!
In this total-immersion, collaborative musical theater experience, participants receive hands-on instruction in acting, improvisation, voice, dance, and more. Camp students explore numerous genres of musical theater as they create, rehearse, and mount an exciting, full-length show. Roles are chosen specifically for each camper to showcase his or her talents and give each the opportunity to grow over the course of the summer.
Those who are interested in what goes on behind the scenes- design, lighting, management, etc.- are also encouraged to join.
