Camp Program Overview

Our summer camp programs are designed to provide campers the opportunity to have fun while also learning valuable skills to help them with future performance opportunities. Each camp involves an audition component that gets more complex with each age group. Within each of the theatre camps, there will be some larger roles and some that are more ensemble-focused. These casting decisions are based on the strength of the audition. 

Please be aware of this prior to registering your child; the cost of tuition guarantees that your child will be well-taken care of as they explore musical theatre in the safe, welcoming environment of our theatre. It guarantees that we will do our best to teach them valuable skills on and off the stage. Tuition does not guarantee that your child will have a lead role in their camp performance. It does not guarantee that they will have a solo or lines of their own to deliver independently. While these are also valuable opportunities, they are not realistic preparation for the auditions they may participate in during the rest of the year. Camp tuition does guarantee that we’ll find as many interesting ways to utilize them onstage as possible as we facilitate opportunities for them to grow as performers. We will focus as much on the responsibilities of leading and supporting roles as we do on the responsibilities of the ensemble.

Senior High Theatre Camp

School of Rock

The tuner follows Dewey Finn, a failed, wannabe rock star who decides to earn an extra bit of cash by posing as a substitute teacher at a prestigious prep school. There he turns a class of Straight A pupils into a guitar-shredding, bass-slapping, mind-blowing rock band. But can he get them to the Battle of the Bands without their parents and the school’s headmistress finding out?

After several classic shows in a row, we’re excited to tackle something a little different! This show is pure fun, with a large ensemble cast and a lot of opportunities for our high school campers across the age band. (As a reminder, the ages of the characters don’t always equate to the ages of those cast to play them. We’re open to all possibilities!)

Senior High Camp – $375

  • Rising 9th Grade to Rising College Freshmen
  • Campers must be able to attend each camp day by themselves; we do not invite parents and guardians to stay because it can create a distraction for other students. 
  • Auditions: June 27th, 9am-3pm.
    • Students will be asked to prepare a song selection prior to the audition. This piece should be no more than 90 seconds in length; they’ll be cut off if they go over that time. They should select something from another Broadway musical that is appropriate for their age and for the role for which they’d like to be considered.
    • On site, students will participate in a dance audition and cold readings. We may send the dance portion ahead of time for them to practice.
  • Camp Days: Monday-Friday, July 6th-July 24th, 9am-4pm
  • Performances: In order to keep up with the rising licensing and production costs without having to raise camp tuition, we will be staging two performances this year (instead of three). At the time of registration, students can cast their vote for:
    • A: Performances Friday, July 24th and Saturday, July 25th at 7pm (only evening shows, no Sunday matinee)
    • B: Performances Saturday, July 25th at 7pm and Sunday, July 26th at 5pm (no long day of camp into Friday performance)
  • Campers should bring a water bottle and a lunch with them each day. Please try to avoid peanut butter as much as possible, as we often have many campers with nut allergies.
  • With explicit parent permission, campers will be able to walk to one of the local restaurants Monday-Friday of each week. While making this determination, parents should note that campers will not be accompanied by an adult if they walk to one of these restaurants, but they will be required to travel with at least one other camper.
  • With explicit parent permission, campers may also be able to drive themselves to lunch. With further permission, campers may be able to drive others, assuming they are legally able to do so.
  • Campers will be given a camp t-shirt as part of their tuition. 
  • Campers will be primarily costumed by our staff, but we may request assistance with some items!
