Summer Musical Theatre Workshop - Session 2

The Edgerton Center for the Performing Arts welcomes back the popular Summer Musical Theatre Workshop in 2008. This opportunity for performers (Ages 6-13) offers instruction on all the main aspects of Musical Theatre Performance; dancing, acting, and singing. Once a week, performers meet with industry professionals who offer insight into a career in the industry. The Edgerton Center’s Workshop presents an unbeatable opportunity for young performers to hone their skills as both a group, and an individual performer. At the conclusion of each session, a one-night only performance is presented to allow all participants a chance to showcase their talents as a group, and as a soloist!

Session 1: July 7th – July 18th , 9am-3pm (M-F)

Session 2: July 21th – Aug. 1st, 9am-3pm (M-F)

How Each Session Works: Children arrive for sign-in at 9:00am every morning (Mon.-Fri.) for two weeks. After sign-in, the children work together in assigned groups of 10-20 children rehearsing songs & scenes from the some of musical theatre’s most revered classics.

Every day, each group, along with specifically assigned counselors, rotates between lessons in choreography, acting, singing and more as they prepare a final showcase to be performed free of charge to friends and family at the conclusion of the two-week session. All paricipants also have the option of performing a solo piece with special instruction by camp instructors. Through this option, children can hone their skills performing as both an ensemble member, and a featured performer.

Also, each session will be visited by 2 master artists from the Broadway / Off-Broadway community! Once a week, an industry professional will visit the Edgerton Center to meet with the kids and speak with them about their personal experience working in theatre.

Overall, participants in the Summer Musical Theatre Workshop get unmatched exposure to industry professionals, while nurturing their talents in an incredible social environment.

Tuition: $500 per participant
