About Musical Theatre Boot Camp
Apply to be part of Pasadena Playhouse’s first ever Musical Theater Boot Camp! Students focus on the audition process rather than a production, allowing them to enter the college application season with a repertoire of monologues and songs, as well as the skills needed to find material appropriate for their age and type. From 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM, industry professionals and guest artists will instruct students in acting, singing, dancing, movement, theater history and the college theater landscape. Each session culminates in a showcase for family and friends.

DEADLINE EXTENDED! Video Auditions (Self-Tape) will be now be accepted on a rolling basis until all slots are filled.
