Ready to sing your heart out? Whether you're new to musical theatre or ready to level up, this is your chance to bring show-stopping songs to life. Each session begins with vocal warm-ups that build healthy technique. Then we dive into ensemble numbers from hit Broadway shows like Annie, Seussical, or Bye, Bye, Birdie. Over the course of the session, you'll build performance skills, strengthen your voice, and connect with fellow performers in a fun, supportive space. We'll wrap it all up with a final mini-concert for family and friends -- because every great musical moment deserves an audience!

*Please be sure you can commit to the schedule and especially the final two classes (dress rehearsal & showcase day), and communicate any conflicts before registering. Unapproved absences may result in removal from some or all performance pieces -- the show must go on, after all.

ABOUT CAMP
This fun and immersive youth drama camp gives kids a joyful introduction to the full theatre experience—from auditions to a big final bow. Campers rehearse and perform a full-length, age-appropriate production while learning basic staging, choreography, and simple songs. Along the way, students help create simple props and costume accessories and get a peek behind the scenes during tech and dress rehearsals. The session culminates in a full-scale performance on the big stage for friends and family—an exciting, confidence-boosting theatre adventure kids will never forget! 

ABOUT THE PRODUCTION
In Musical Time Machine, a curious group of kids discovers a mysterious box that sends them spinning through history on a musical adventure for the ages! One moment they’re together at home—and the next, they’re singing their way through the Old West, Ancient Greece, the Jazz Age, the groovy 1960s, and even the Elizabethan era! Each stop brings new characters, new styles of music, and plenty of surprises. As the kids race to figure out how to get back to their own time, they discover that every era has something to teach them about teamwork, courage, and finding their own voices. Packed with catchy songs and laugh-out-loud moments, Musical Time Machine is a high-energy youth production that proves no matter where—or when—you are, friendship is timeless. So buckle up, press the button, and let’s do the Time Warp…again!
