On Broadway Musical Theater Camp
Entering Grades 6-9
Actors develop and strengthen skills in acting, singing and dance. Over the course of just two weeks, On Broadway creates a full theatrical production complete with set, lights, microphones and more! The selected shows develop elocution, attention to detail, physicality, and creativity. These skills aid performers on and off the stage, over the summer and throughout the school year.
