Young Actor Musical Theatre Preparatory Program at Playhouse on Park

WEST
HARTFORD- For students who love to perform, Playhouse on Park is offering a two
week, full-day musical theatre program this summer. The aim of this program is
to guide performers entering grades 3-8 to develop strong technique and
performance skills in acting, music, and movement.

This program, titled the
Young Actor Musical Theatre Preparatory Program, gives
older elementary and middle school students theatre instruction in a
comfortable and professional setting. Every day, students will have a schedule
of classes in acting, music, and movement, plus rehearsals for their final
showcase, where they will be featured in all three disciplines. Students will
also have opportunities to develop and perform their own pieces. The faculty
for this program includes Dawn Loveland, Kevin Barlowski, and Hillary Ekwall.
Students will also participate in master classes with visiting Broadway
artists, including Janelle Robinson (Mary
Poppins, Oklahoma, Showboat) and Joel Newsome (The Producers, 42nd Street). They will also have a chance
to learn from the cast of the Playhouse on Park summer musical, The 25th Annual Putnam County
Spelling Bee. Upon completion of the program, students should have the
skills to create a compelling and engaging musical theatre performance.

Registration is required; class size is limited,
and will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information on
