Orange County Performing Arts Center Offers Musical Theater Camp, 6/22-26

The Orange County Performing Arts Center is offering local high school students the opportunity to join its brand-new weeklong musical theater summer camp from June 22 to 26 on the Center's campus. Students will be educated in musical theater technique and repertoire by some of the industry's leading professional artists and educators, including Tony®Award-nominated actress Erin Dilly and Danny Gurwin, Broadway star and faculty member of American Musical & Dramatic Academy in Los Angeles.

Five Days of Broadway's daily sessions will focus on building a strong foundation of technique in Broadway music, scene work and dance, as well as career development and an introduction to the business aspects of working as a professional theater actor. Sessions will include learning the fundamentals of acting within a song, learning choreography from a current stage production and the basics of auditioning for a Broadway show. At the end of the week, parents, family and friends will be invited to join the students for an informal presentation highlighting the week's efforts and showcasing the "cast." 

Five Days of Broadway, which was developed by the Center's Education and Community Programs Department, is open to all high school students ages 14 – 18, including recent graduates. The summer program will take place from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the week of June 22–26 in the Center's studio at the performance space in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall (600 Town Center Drive, Costa Mesa, CA). The cost of the summer camp is $300. For more information or to register for Five Days of Broadway, please visit ocpac.org/summercamp or call 714-556-2122 ext. 4333, Option 4.
