Youth Musical Theatre

Ages 7–13 • Also appropriate for younger 14-year-olds

Typical Day

Instruction in musical theatre, including contemporary acting, vocal production, stage movement, and dance for new and returning performers is offered. Students meet in small classes of same-aged children with experienced teachers and practicing artists. The staff presents different lessons for each session, and children may register for one, two, or three sessions without repetition. This skills-building program is based more on process than end result, and is specially designed to help elementary and middle school students develop self-confidence, a work ethic, and enjoyment in the performing arts.

To broaden skills and exposure to the arts, Youth Musical Theatre students can also explore Young Bards, the Songwriting Workshop, Young Artists, Young Photographers, Young Filmmakers, and/or Young Writers to make for a well-rounded summer experience!

• Each session culminates in an informal performance for family and friends.
