MUSICAL THEATER CAMP

June 15 - July 31, 2020 Temple Theater

PUT ON A MUSICAL IN ONE WEEK!

GET ON THE WAIT LIST! 

This weeklong day camp invites young artists to explore their talents and skills as musical theater actors in an original musical production. Each participant is guaranteed a role - assigned on the first day through an audition process - and will rehearse throughout the week.

Our professional scenic, lighting and costume designers, as well as our professional director and music director, will make sure you are ready to take the stage with confidence when you perform for family and friends at the end of the week. And, don't worry. When you're not rehearsing, workshops, games and other activities will help you increase your skills, make new friends, and have lots of fun too!

No previous experience necessary; all experience levels welcome!

For students entering grades 3-8, fall 2019.

We want to make sure that camp is accessible to all. Please check out details on our SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM if financial assistance is needed to allow your child to participate.

ATTENDANCE REQUIREMENTS

Due to the short timeframe of the camp and the intense rehearsal schedule, participation in the culminating performance is dependent on full attendance throughout the week. Missed rehearsals may necessitate that a participant give up his or her role for the success of the overall production.

CANCELLATION POLICY

Your participation is very important to the overall success of your selected camp, but we understand that summer plans sometimes change.

In the event that you are no longer able to participate, please submit notice of your camp cancellation to education@desmoinesperformingarts.org.

Written notice of cancellation must be received six weeks prior to the first date of the camp in order for a refund to be issued.

If a cancellation is submitted less than six weeks prior to the camp start date, a refund will only be issued if we are able to secure a new registration to fill the vacated spot.

"It was absolutely perfect! My daughter and I appreciated the personal approach, the smaller group of campers, and the merit-based audition process...She felt like her audition really helped land her a role that suited her. It was heads-and-tails the best camp experience we have had yet! My daughter and I particularly appreciated the hand-written notes from the directors. She was so pleased to get a note of encouragement, and I was really touched too! I felt like the camp leaders actually knew who my daughter was as an individual." -Sarah Egge, parent
