WHAT TO EXPECT:
Weeks 1-2 (Sep 6 - Sep 13): I Hope I Get It!
During the first two weeks of the semester, students will participate in a personalized audition process. Auditions at Stages are designed to be a low stress, fun experience where Broadway Stars get to show off what they’ve been learning the first few weeks of the semester and tell us what they are most excited to do in the show. Middle School Musical students get the chance to do a comprehensive audition process complete with cold reads and callbacks.
Casting will be done more traditionally with 1-2 actors playing each role. EVERY CHILD WILL BE GIVEN A ROLE OR SPECIAL PART IN THE SHOW. We will work together with children to make sure they have a role. that they are excited to perform!
Weeks 3-10 (Sep 20 - Nov 8): Putting It Together--
During Weeks 3-10, the cast will participate in weekly rehearsals. During these classes, we will focus on character development, blocking the show, and introducing various theatrical elements that will be used such as sets, props, special effects, and costumes.
Weeks 11-12 (Nov 15 - Nov 22): Prepping for Opening Night
During Weeks 11-12, the cast will begin running doing “Run Thrus” where they perform the show from start to finish. We’ll also start adding in transitions so performers know when and how to enter/exit the stage, when to get microphones, make a costume change, or pick up a prop from the prop table. These classes are VERY important and we ask that you do your best to ensure your child is at every class unless they are ill.
*There will be no class on November 29*

Musicians in the Making teaches foundational music concepts through fun cooperative games designed to reach aural, visual, and kinesthetic learners alike. Pitch, reading, rhythm, and dictation are just some of the skills students will learn, giving them a huge leg up on their musical journey.
Taught by Jeff Award winner, Ariana Miles, our resident music director/”friend behind the piano”, Musicians in the Making is a great introduction to music for children on the fence about taking lessons as well as a valuable learning supplement for those already in them.
Finally, a music theory class your child will be excited to go to every week!

What do you get when you combine the magic of Broadway with the fun and freedom of summer? The ultimate summer camp experience for your preschooler!
Our week-long, half-day musical theater camps bring your child's favorite songs and characters to life through music, dance, dramatic play, process art activities, and plenty of outdoor adventures.
