Our week long summer camps are a fun filled way for any level student to improve on their theater skills. Our camps are centered around a theme where we will learn music, challenging choreography, and dramatic scenes while giving every child an opportunity to have a solo or speaking line. Our camps run Monday-Friday from 9am-2pm.
Anyone who is between the ages of 10 years old or going into 5th grade -15 years old may apply. No experience necessary!
Dates for our 2022 summer camps:
Camp 1: June 27th-July 1st
Camp 2: July 11-15th
Hope to see you out there!
We are an after school fee-based program that teaches students how to sing, dance, and act through quality classes taught by professionals in the theatre industry. We also offer the opportunity to put on a full musical theater production that includes sets, costumes, props, and much more. We focus on building confidence and working as a team as well as production value in our shows and classes. We want to offer excellent training to our students and help them grow in their musical theatre skills.

REGISTER FOR JUNIE B JONES HERE ON 2/19/20
How do I audition?
Each student who is registered will need to prepare a one minute audition song from Junie B Jones. You will receive a link to all the music so you can practice! After each student sings, we will ask you to read one of our character lines. The character lines will be included in the audition packet. The audition packet will be emailed to you after you register for an audition time. Each student will need to print it out and bring to your scheduled audition time. It is that simple. Remember to be big and have lots of character as we cast the whole show off of the student's auditions!
Audition Workshop
We will also be offering a one time audition workshop class on Friday, March 6th from 3:15-4:15. This is a perfect class to take if you have never auditioned for a musical before or would like some important tips on how to improve your audition. The cost of the audition workshop class is $20.
