Two Week Mini-Musical Summer Camp

Join us for a fun summer camp filled with theatre, art, performance, and friends!

The camp is M-F from Monday, July 13-Friday, July 24, each day from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

There are two final performances at Manship Theatre on Friday, July 24 at 5:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Family and friends are invited.

Registration process: Jan. 29 for members; Feb. 12 for public

Registration opens to the public on February 12.

These camps usually sell out, so we suggest registering the day they go on sale. The two-week mini-musical costs $565. There are no registration or supply fees. Tickets for the performances will be on sale at a later date. Tickets are $17 each, including fees.

The process, not the product

Our Mini-Musical Production Camps are about the process, not the product. This is perfect for kids who have an interest in experiencing the magic of musical theatre, regardless of experience. The camp is led by a team of professionals in their field, including support from Manship Theatre’s professional production and education teams.

What to expect

This is not a camp of babysitting. Campers will enjoy learning and rehearsing lines, songs, choreography, and theatre games and exercises. The final performance in our beautiful 325-seat theatre with professional stage production is a special experience for these young campers. Friends and family are encouraged to attend!

Each day, campers should bring lunch, water, and two snacks. There is no aftercare.

Everyone should arrive by 9:00 a.m., dressed in comfortable clothes and tennis shoes, prepared for a day of moving and learning!

Camps run from 9:00 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Carpool drop-off begins at 8:30 a.m. and pickup ends at 4:30 p.m.

Auditions for specific roles will be held prior to the camp start date.
