Theatre Intensives

Musical Theater

Come jump into musical theater this summer with our amazing shows, Peter Pan and Thoroughly Modern Millie! Learn audition techniques! Grow as an actor and singer while working on these great shows. Open to all levels of performers. Our theater and music facilities are incredible, with a large, air conditioned, modern theater, costume shop, recital hall, and practice rooms. Each day will be filled with warm-ups, acting classes, singing lessons, both private and group. Each program ends after four whirlwind weeks with a dress rehearsal for the camp, and then an evening performance for family and friends. Our productions are fully costumed with sets, backdrops, lights, and sound.
