Curriculum

Each day, students will engage in a variety of fun and inclusive exercises and lessons that will help them develop foundational skills to become collaborative musical theater performers. Specifically, students will explore the areas of acting, singing, dancing, and playwriting within a safe learning environment. All activities are hands-on, and all students are expected to participate fully. Each day will have an energetic “camp-like” feel, including warmups and games, and group discussions, among other things.
