Musical Theatre Camp
Our cast of campers have the exciting opportunity to produce a full-scaled musical in just three weeks! In this special program, campers learn theatre skills and gain acting experience through hands-on participation in the production process. Each session will lead its participants through auditioning, choreography, staging, costuming, and vocal rehearsals all leading up to the opening night of their BIG SHOW! Parents, family, and friends are invited to come enjoy the show on the last day of camp. On with the show!
The Grunch: A Musical Theatre
Camp for Kids
The Grunch tells the story of Rudy Grunch, a grumpy 6th grader who always feels like an outsider. When the entire school gets excited about the annual school musical, he comes up with a perfect plan to ruin it for everyone; he’ll steal the sets, costumes and lights the night before it opens. But will the spirit of theatre prevail?
