Videos

The following videos are from past Summer Musical Theater Workshops after three weeks of intensive singing dancing and acting instruction. With only fifteen days of rehearsal these young people perform a full two hour show written just for them using music from Broadway shows, pop, rock, and country.

All of the performers are between the ages of 7 to 18. Many of them are singing on stage for the very first time. Each child has one or more solos in which they are truly the "star" of the show as well as dancing and singing in group numbers. Take some time to watch these budding artists. I'm sure you will agree that many of them could be the Tony Award winners of tomorrow!
