About Musical Theatre Boot Camp: 
Musical Theater Boot Camp is back! Over the course of two fun-filled weeks (9am to 3:30pm, Monday through Friday) students will hone their audition skills, develop a repertoire of monologues and songs, and learn how to find material appropriate for their age and type. Industry professionals and guest artists will instruct students in acting, singing, dancing, movement, musical theater history, and even help with college audition prep. Each bootcamp session culminates in a "workshare" showcase performance for family and friends!

This program is available for high school students and recent high school graduates. Eligible students are in 9th-12th grade in the 24/25 school year. (Must have finished their first year of high school). Applicants will be accepting on a rolling basis until the program is full.
