BROADWAY SUMMER INTENSIVE

One six-day session of BROADWAY SUMMER INTENSIVE will be offered:
July 12-17, 2021

Hours: Camp begins at 9 AM and ends promptly at 5 PM (M-F) and from 9 AM until 4:30 PM on Saturday. Students may be dropped off in the morning between 8:45-9 AM.

Final showcase: Saturday at 3 PM. (Details for attending/viewing the showcase will be provided later.)

Location: All events during the week will be held at the Des Moines Civic Center, 221 Walnut Street, Des Moines. Students may enter the building at 8:45 AM.

The week is designed for aspiring performers who are highly interested in musical theater. Auditions are not required to participate; however, previous training or experience is necessary. (We recommend that participants have experience in at least two of the following areas: singing, dance and acting.)

Each participant is also expected to prepare 1-2 musical theater songs for the week to use in coaching sessions. 

In advance of camp starting, you will be asked to submit a brief placement video utilizing one of your musical theater songs. Faculty will review to assist them in their preparations for the week. Specific details about the process for submitting your placement video will be provided as the camp dates near. 

Due to the intense rehearsal schedule, participation in the showcase performance is dependent on full attendance throughout the week. Missed rehearsals may necessitate that a participant give up part or all of their role(s) for the success of the overall performance.

The six-day Broadway Summer Intensive carries a registration fee of $495, which includes a daily snack; participants are asked to bring a sack lunch each day.

(Pay in full at time of registration or in three equal installments. Payment plans only available for registrations received prior to April 10, 2021.)

We want to make sure that camp is accessible to all. Please complete the SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION if financial assistance is needed to allow your student to participate.
