Summer Camp

Lion King Jr.

Show Logo

In this exciting summer camp, students will embark on a journey of putting on a fully-staged 60 minute musical!

Summer camps start the day with a morning conversation around a positive, enriching value or theme for the day, such as compassion, leadership, or communication. There is also wrap up time at the end of the day to conclude the day with reflection on the day’s value or theme.

This camp is a two-week, half-day camp. Campers will need to bring a snack and water bottle each day. Students will choose between the morning session (8:30 am – 12:30 pm) or the afternoon session (1:00 pm – 5:00 pm)

This is an action-packed and challenging week(s) full of learning, fun, and friends! Students will study acting, music, and dance as part of the rehearsal process, which also includes technical elements such as lights, sound, set, costumes, props, and projections. Camps end with a fully-staged performance!

Audition Information

Students audition prior to the start of the program, however, upon enrollment, every student has a place in the cast. The auditions allow the teaching artists to find the best role for each student.

Students register for an audition time slot, and proceed through the audition process in small groups. Auditions have voice, dance, and acting components and are structured to provide a supportive atmosphere where students are encouraged to be brave and show the artistic team engagement, willingness to learn, and a positive, collaborative spirit. No previous experience is needed.
