MASTERS BROADWAY MUSICAL THEATRE INTENSIVE 2024

This is an audition only one week camp for young artists incoming 7th-9thth grade. 

MASTERS BROADWAY MUSICAL INTENSIVE with Chicago artists Kyle and Rylie featuring Broadway Actors joining for masters classes throughout the week.

We are bringing back this highly successful camp for a second year. We will be featuring the shows Come From Away and Beetlejuice. We will talking about common themes of two contrasting shows. Both are heavy in characterization so we will be leaning into the music, fundamentals of music theory and harmony, character development and choreography. There will be a performance the final day of camp. Click here to see clips from last year!

Come From Away is the story of kindness and inclusiveness. It chronicles the real-life experiences of the people of Gander, Newfoundland, and the almost 7000 airline passengers who were forced to land there when US air space was closed on September 11, 2001.

Beetlejuice is a musical follows the story of a recently deceased couple who haunted their own house, a self-centered demon named Beetlejuice, and a teenage girl, who recently moved into the house with her dad and his new fiance and going through a rough patch after the death of her mother.

This is an audition only camp for young artists incoming 6th-9th grade. Audition info below.

AUDITION INFORMATION:
This will be an audition only camp. AUDITIONS DUE BY APRIL 15th. We may do call back in person auditions.
VIDEO AUDITION: Please submit a video of your student to lisa@wagnersummertheater.com. Please prepare 16 bars of a favorite song. Piano or karaoke track is fine for a backing track. Please intro your piece with your name, experience, and why you are interested in this camp. Please also share the name of your selection and why you chose it. If you don't have a piece prepared, singing Happy Birthday or another standard is an option. If you have interest but not sure about your experience, please submit anyway. We encourage everyone to submit!! This is a masters level camp but if you are excited about the content but at the beginning of your musical experience and knowledge that is ok. Students who submit and are selected will then be given a link to register. Auditions must be submitted by April 15th.

All students will be selected by May 1st and will have pre-work prior to attending the camp. This will consist of learning music through tutorials given by our instructors. The hope is that students come prepared to take the music and performance to the next level.

All Wagner Summer Theater Campers are invited to our end of the summer showcase on Aug 2nd at Valley High Staplin Performing Arts Center. We will highlight the week and let the campers walk the stage. THIS CAMP WILL PERFORM AT THE SHOWCASE IF ENOUGH STUDENTS ARE AVAILABLE. Attending the showcase is optional and not mandatory to attend the camp.
