MUSICAL THEATRE CAMP Set in Hollywood in the waning days of the silent screen era, Singin’ in the Rain focuses on romantic lead Don Lockwood, his sidekick Cosmo Brown, aspiring actress Kathy Selden, and Lockwood’s leading lady Lina Lamont, whose less-than-dulcet vocal tones make her an unlikely candidate for stardom in talking pictures. Be part of this toe-tapping musical this summer! This is a full production with costumes, sets, light and sound design, and top notch Starting Arts directors! Performances will take place July 10-12 (times TBA). No extended tech rehearsals, performance times are the only part of camp not in the 9am-2pm time frame. All levels of experience welcome, everyone registered is in the show! e tat
