This five-week summer intensive workshop is designed for any student, aged 8-18, who wishes to immerse themselves in the musical theatre experience through work on songs, foundational acting techniques, and choreography, as we mount a full production of Disney’s Newsies. Your children will work with a team of artists who will not only teach their craft, but focus on life skills, such as team building, respecting ourselves and others, self-esteem, responsibility, self-discipline, and helping students recognize their potential for success.

 

To ensure a high-quality experience for all students involved, we are only accepting the first 40 applicants. Please enroll today to secure your child’s spot!
