The morning consists of specific training in the various disciplines; in the afternoon, students implement the skills learned during the day in a rehearsal setting for the end-of-camp presentation to be attended by family and friends. This showcase is a Broadway-style revue, consisting of musical numbers and scenes. Even the most-experienced performer will find this camp to be invaluable! Tuition includes a T-shirt and two complimentary tickets to the showcase.
For the students – - Please hand-write us a letter, explaining why you would enjoy being a part of the Triple Threat Boot Camp. Please be as specific as you can – don’t hesitate to give examples of why you enjoy performing, and perhaps include some past experiences you’ve had with acting, singing or dance. The registration form must be accompanied by this letter.
Submission of the registration form and letter does not automatically guarantee a place for the student in the camp. Do not include payment with the registration form. Families will be contacted by Friday, July 6th as to whether or not the child has been accepted into the camp. Payment is due upon the student’s acceptance into the camp.
