No auditions for this Broadway role

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE Broadway bound to have a blast at Five Days of Broadway camp. Whether you want to one day be a star or just want to have fun learning to sing and dance, this is where you want to be—no auditions needed. Five Days of Broadway is the Center’s musical theater summer camp where students of all experience levels are coached in performance and technique by some of the leading professional artists and educators in the musical theater industry. It focuses on building a strong foundation in music, acting and dance and introduces students to some of the design and backstage aspects of professional theater. Since the program began in 2010 more than 600 students have attended, many of whom have returned year after year.

Campers will also have the opportunity to take a backstage tour, practice their improvisation and learn an ensemble number together. While some classes include all campers, most classes are held in smaller groups to provide more personalized coaching and hands-on opportunities.

There are two sessions scheduled depending on the camper’s age. Middle School week is for students ages 11–13 and will be held June 19–23. In addition to acting, singing and dancing, this group will enjoy class options such as puppetry, stage combat, makeup, and introduction to theatrical design.

The high school session for students ages 14–19 will be held June 26–30. While mostly focused on young artist training in the three musical theater disciplines, students will also have the opportunity to explore the basics of Shakespeare., theatrical makeup, and ensemble work.

Spaces are filled on a first come, first served basis and scholarships are available for those with financial need. For more information, visit our website at scfta.org/fivedays.
