In Cate’s 5 years of studying musical theatre, TAP has been the most professional triple threat training my daughter has received. She has grown in to a confident performer thanks in large part to her TAP summer experiences. - Debra Gillham
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.
Showcase: 1pm Saturday June 20, 2020

*NOTE: All campers for TAP Junior, TAP Senior, and TAP Advanced are required to audition at the beginning of camp. Auditions are held for many reasons. The staff will get the opportunity to know all the campers and their strengths and weaknesses in all types of performance. Additionally the staff will be able to make casting decisions about the final showcase, place campers in the correct class levels, and make sure that all classes are challenging and appropriate. All campers will participate in multiple sections of the audition. The audition process will be conducted in a professional and encouraging environment. It will be fun, but we are expecting your personal best. Visit Placement Auditions for more information.
