Musical Theatre Camp
July 10-14 & July 16, 2023
Directed by Robin Mayhew
At St. Paul's UMC (10401 Armory Ave., Kensington MD 20895)
For one week in July, musical theatre camp hosts dozens of middle-school age performers, plus youth and parent helpers, as they put together a one-act musical on a biblical theme. Students audition, memorize roles, learn choreography, fix up costumes, and enjoy snacks, games, and fellowship. We are so excited to be back at St. Paul's after taking two years off due to covid-19, and after last year at our guest host site at Warner Presbyterian while St. Paul's was under renovation!
Camp sessions for 2023 are held July 10-14, Monday-Friday, 9AM to 3PM.
Performances are Sunday, July 16 during worship services - actor times to be announced.
Please note: Camper attendance is required through Sunday July 16. We regret that we cannot accept any cast members who cannot commit to Sunday’s presentations.
Registration is open to the first 24 campers; register early please!
The camp accepts cast members who are entering 4th grade and older. Students in rising-4th grade do not need to attend auditions and will be in the ensemble. Student in Grades 5 and up will audition to be cast in specific roles.
Audition Schedule for Grade 5 and older will be announced soon! Auditions are usually in June.
Campers are asked to bring a bag lunch each day. Snacks will be provided.
