Junior 2: Intermediate - Advanced (2-week)

This session requires an application/video sub­mission for acceptance.

The 2-week camp is an advanced musical theatre program. Campers take classes in voice, dance and acting. The classes are designed for stu­dents who seri­ously want to grow in these areas. In com­parison to the 1-week camp, these campers are given more advanced material and follow a more struc­tured class and rehearsal schedule.

Sunday June 3 — Saturday June 16, 2012
Showcase: Saturday June 16, 2012, 1pm
