Registrations open for Camp Broadway
Camp Broadway, a performing arts summer camp for theater-loving kids ages 10 to 17, is headed back to ASU Gammage June 14-18, for its 15th year.
Camp sells out every year, so reserve your child’s spot today by calling 480-965-5062.
Campers work collaboratively with Broadway’s most distinguished performers, writers and designers and will have a chance to see Tony-Award winning musical "In the Heights" and meet the cast and crew. Camp tuition is $600 and includes the weeklong training, lunch and snacks daily, a behind-the-scenes tour of ASU Gammage and a ticket to "In the Heights."
Camp Broadway gives young people an introduction to Broadway – on stage and behind the scenes. Camp classes include acting, scene study, improvisation, music theory, singing and dancing. The camp fosters teamwork, discipline, commitment and support while introducing kids to the world of Broadway and all aspects of putting a show together in a professional, interactive and theatrical environment. The weeklong day camp culminates in a final performance, the "Family Finale."
Brian Goldsberry, a Camp Broadway alumni camper, attended Camp Broadway for seven summers and describes Camp Broadway as “an amazing experience you can’t get anywhere else.”
"In the Heights," winner of four 2008 Tony® Awards including Best Musical, is a sensational new show about chasing your dreams and finding your true home. With an amazing cast, incredible Tony® Award-winning dancing and a thrilling Tony® Award-winning score, "In the Heights" is an exhilarating journey into a vibrant Manhattan community – a place where the coffee is light and sweet, the windows are always open and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music.
The camp is intended for kids of all interests, and enthusiasm is the only requirement, no theater experience is needed.
"We introduce classic Broadway to new generations, so that we can keep live theater alive," said Tony Parise, artistic director of Camp Broadway. "Broadway theater has a unique heritage. Around the world, 'Broadway' means a distinctive sense of excitement and magic. It is this one-of-a-kind spirit that drives Camp Broadway."
