June 9 – June 13, 2025

Join this week-long acting and improv lab where students explore hidden talents, improve communication skills, and ignite their imagination. Through theatre games and activities, campers learn improvisation, acting skills, playwriting, and devising, all culminating in a final sharing on Friday, June 13th.

Musical Theatre Marathon ($335): 

In these one-week workshops, campers polish singing, dancing, and acting skills while learning a musical in a week! Students will use excerpts of scenes and songs from these popular musicals to create a spectacular performance to share with friends and family on the last day of class.*  No experience is necessary to enjoy a week of exploring these amazing shows!

MTM: Smash (Grades 6-12)

July 7 – July 11, 2025

Based on the TV series of the same name and featuring songs from the series, Smash follows the process of mounting Bombshell, a musical about the life of Marilyn Monroe.

MTM:  Wicked

July 28 – August 1, 2025

A prequel to The Wizard of Oz, Wicked transports audiences to the Land of Oz to tell the stories of Glinda the Good and the Wicked Witch of the West. Wicked explores themes that include prejudice, the complexity of friendship, bullying, the lure of power, and overcoming adversity and contains no bad language, stark violence, or overt sexual activity. The staging of the musical is elaborate and exciting for most young children; however, there are elements that may be overwhelming, including loud and unexpected noises, fantastical characters, poor treatment of animals, and a menacing
portrayal of The Wizard.

Triple Threat ($335)

August 18 – 22, 2025

Triple Threat gives Campers the opportunity to work on musical numbers from some of the most well-known musicals on Broadway, as well as great songs from the world of musical theatre. Daily classes in acting, singing, and dancing will help bring the modern American musical to life. All experience levels are welcome. Campers will create a ‘review’ using the musical numbers worked on during camp to be shared with friends and family. Join us for a final sharing on Friday, August 22nd.

Showtime Production Camps ($655) 

No matter what your experience level, you need to join us for our SHOWTIME! Production Camps this summer.  These 2-week camps give young performers an opportunity to rehearse and perform a play or musical with a professional director, choreographer, and music director.  There are plenty of amazing roles in all our shows, too!

 Honk, Jr. 

June 16 – June 28, 2025

This delightful adaptation of the beloved fable, The Ugly Duckling, and the award-winning musical is a heartwarming celebration of what makes us special. With its sparkling wit, unique charm and memorable
score by George Stiles and Anthony Drewe (Mary Poppins), Honk! JR. is a heartwarming celebration of being different. Witty and hilarious, but also deeply moving, Honk! JR. will treat actors to equal amounts
laughter and tears.

Beetlejuice, Jr. (Grades 6-12), Jr. 

August 4 – 16, 2025

It’s our show now, kid. The ghost-with-the-most comes to the stage in Beetlejuice JR., the frightfully funny musical based on the beloved motion picture turned Broadway phenomenon. Lydia Deetz is a
strange and unusual teenager, still grieving the loss of her mother and obsessed with the whole “being dead thing.” Lucky for Lydia, she and her father move to a new house haunted by a recently deceased couple and Beetlejuice, a delightful demon with a real zest for life. When Lydia calls on Beetlejuice to scare away anyone with a pulse, this double-crossing specter shows his true stripes, unleashing a (Nether) world of pandemonium.

*Performances are Friday, August 15th, at 3 PM and 6 PM, and Saturday, August 16th, at 1 PM and 4 PM at the Charles A. Brown Historic Ice House.
