Musical Theater Camp

The UTPB Musical Theater Camp runs Monday through Friday, June 27-July 1 from 9 am - 4 pm at the Wagner-Noel Performing Arts Center. Students ranging from 4th grade to recent high school graduates are welcome to participate. 
On Friday evening, the students will present a performance of their songs and scenes in the Rea-Greathouse Recital Hall, which will be free and open to the public.

Clothing

Every morning will begin with physical warmups, followed by choreography. Students should come to camp dressed in comfortable clothing (exercise clothes, dance clothes, or sweat pants) and bring dance shoes (jazz shoes, character shoes) if they have them. If they have no dance shoes, tennis shoes or socks are acceptable footwear. Students should bring a change of clothes (casual is fine) for the rest of the day when they will be singing and acting.

Repertoire

Recommended but not required: two contrasting solos (fast/slow, English/foreign language, or some other contrasting style) to work on with faculty. These songs may be programmed for the final concert, so memorized songs would be preferable. The rest of the music for the final performance will be given to the students upon arrival.
