Broadway Babies Summer Camp
(Ages 4 to 7)
America’s future idols start their training here! The perfect way to allow your 4 to 7 year old to explore their creative abilities.
Does your child like to sing and dance or play dress up?
Are they so irrepressible that you think
you could have your own little star brewing?
If you answered yes to any of the previous questions, then the Broadway Babies Camp is for you. As taught by Renata Marino, the Broadway Babies Camp is a chance for our youngest students to receive their first training in theatre. Students play theatre games, learn the basics of singing, participate in beginner tap and jazz classes and take part in a live performance at the end of camp. Students learn how a show is put together and how to be part of an ensemble. This is the perfect starting point for anyone interested in being on stage. Students are encouraged to stretch their imaginations, increase their confidence and create characters. Many of our finest students have started here. Past shows include Annie, Beauty and the Beast, Music Man and The Wizard of Oz. This summer we’ll do another great show – be a part of it!
Musical Theatre Summer Camp
(Ages 8 to 12 and 13 to 18)
The Camp Day
Camp runs 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Beginning at 9:00 every day, students begin their core classes: Acting, Voice, Jazz, Tap and Ballet. The classes are broken into ability levels lasting 45 minutes each. Each class is designed to give kids a lot of information in a short amount of time. Acting classes work on monologues and scenes as well as technique, Dance classes are meant to introduce and strengthen technique and stretch ability. Voice classes are designed to expand repertoire and strengthen technique and production. Core classes give students a solid base from which to explore and expand their abilities.
Production
Each camp begins show rehearsal at 1:30 every day. These productions are cast from the auditions that are held on the first day of camp. At the end of camp, every show is given a full production—complete with lights and sound—and is then performed in front of a live audience. The production portion of the camp gives students the chance to use what they are learning in their core classes and understand a professional rehearsal and production process.
