Musical Theater Camp
Join us for a new musical theater camp this summer. A few more slots left, extended until full.
If you daughter or son loves to act, loves to sing, or in general is a performing goof ball, this three week summer camp may be for them.
Working from the success of our Art in the Garden program, this summer we are offering a three week, full day, summer camp focused on musical theater. The program will be held in the wonderful Arts at the Armory and take place from July 13- 31 2015, 9:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Drop off begins at 8:30; pick up no later than 5:00 p.m.
Your child, aged 8 to 13, will shine on stage at the Armory in this exciting production of Disney’s The Little Mermaid Jr. This 60-minute, Young Performer’s edition of the 2008 Broadway production will bring your performer on an adventure in a magical underwater kingdom and up to grand castles as they portray the range of characters, both human and animal. Our imaginations can run wild as we create sea creatures, merfolk, princesses, chefs, sailors, princes, valets, and more.

This camp will have four staff and a maxium of 40 youth aged 8 to 13.
