Junior 2: Intermediate - Advanced (2-week)

This ses­sion requires an application/​video sub­mis­sion for acceptance.

The 2-​week camp is an advanced musi­cal the­atre pro­gram. Campers take classes in voice, dance and act­ing. The classes are designed for stu­dents who seri­ously want to grow in these areas. In com­par­i­son to the 1-​week camp, these campers are given more advanced mate­r­ial and fol­low a more struc­tured class and rehearsal schedule.
