WSU Summer Musical Theatre Camp

 

Due to ongoing health concerns related to the COVID-19 virus, we have decided to postpone the inaugural Summer Musical Theatre Camp. We look forward to welcoming students to our camp in 2022. Until then, stay safe and keep singing!

 

Camp Description: 

The WSU Summer Musical Theatre Camp is designed for high school students who are going into their junior or senior year, or have recently graduated, desiring to explore the wonderful world of musical theater and develop their skills.  You will receive lessons and coaching sessions with WSU faculty on both song literature and script preparation, culminating in a showcase performance at the end of the week.  You will also participate in workshops and clinics involving such topics as stage movement, musical theater styles, audition and resume preparation, and technical theater.

Participants will enjoy recreational and evening activities, concerts and the use of the WSU Recreational Center.  Staff provide 24-hour supervision.  Experienced counselors stay in dormitories with the residential participants.

Dates and Times:

Participants arrive and move into the residence hall on Sunday afternoon, July 5, between 2:00 and 4:00 p.m.  All boarding and commuting students will be provided dinner on Sunday evening and an orientation to the camp.

The closing Showcase Concert will be on Friday, July 10 at 1:00 p.m.  The camp ends when the concert finishes, around 3:00 p.m.
