This summer, young artists are invited to discover the world of theatre through musical-intensive and mini-star camps offered through the Florida Repertory Theatre’s education program.
The two-week musical theatre intensive camps feature Broadway Junior musical titles and allow students to work with theatre professionals to develop their acting, singing, and dance skills on a professional stage. The camps culminate with a public performance in the Historic Arcade Theatre - complete with costumes, sets, and lighting – on the last two days of each session. Camp offerings include:
“Anastasia, The Musical” – Youth Edition, July 8 – 12 and July 15 – 19, for ages 11 – 18
Disney’s “The Lion King, Jr.,” July 22 – 26, July 29 – August 2, for ages 9 – 18
A one-week camp mini-stars will be offered July 1 – 3, and July 5 for ages 6 – 8, with activities inspired by Disney’s “The Lion King, Jr.” Participants will play and explore through music, creative movement, theatre games, and arts and crafts projects, and end with a performance for families on the final day of camp.
The sessions are open to students of all skill levels, ages 6 – 18, and run daily from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. The camp fees are $440 per child for two-week musical intensive programs and $200 for the one-week mini-stars program; sibling discounts are available upon request. Program enrollment is limited. To register, call 239-219-1551 or visit FloridaRepEducation.Org/summer-intensives.
There are also opportunities for students ages fifteen to eighteen to serve as junior teaching assistants (JTAs) at the camps. These youth leaders assist head teaching artists during the two-week sessions. An application may be found at FloridaRepEducation.Org/summer-intensives
