FSCJ Artist Series Presents CAMP BROADWAY in June

Camp Broadway, presented by the FSCJ Artist Series, returns to Jacksonville for its 19th year from Monday, June 10 - Friday, June 14, 2019 from 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. at the FSCJ Nathan H. Wilson Center for the Arts on Florida State College at Jacksonville's South Campus. Registration opens Monday, October 15 at 10 a.m.

Camp Broadway introduces young people to the world of life on-stage and behind the scenes. Campers work with Broadway directors, choreographers, and musical directors to receive training in acting, scene study, improvisation, music theory, solo and ensemble singing, movement, and dance. This five-day performing arts program offers each camper the opportunity to expand his or her creative talents, build self-esteem, learn the art of collaboration, and gain a fuller respect and understanding of musical theatre.

Camp Broadway has been proclaimed the "Camp of Dreams" for starry-eyed kids who are just beginning to dream of being on Broadway. It is a self-contained summer workshop that travels around the country bringing Broadway to kids. The 40 hours of camp include singing, dancing and master classes for kids ages 10 to 17. No singing, dancing or acting experience necessary - just a willingness to have fun and a curiosity about what happens on stage and behind the curtain.

Applications will be accepted digitally for Camp Broadway this year, and tuition is $575 per camper and includes daily lunch, snacks and two t-shirts. Spaces are limited and Camp Broadway fills up quickly, so be sure to register your camper soon! To register online, visit bit.ly/CBJax19. Contact Amanda Scott with any questions or for additional details at (904) 357-8934 or email amanda.scott@fscjartistseries.org.

With authentic Broadway instructors teaching dance routines and musical numbers at the same break-neck speed as A real BROADWAY show, Camp Broadway is a fun-filled week of activities designed to teach kids about the serious business of live theater. One activity is our annual Salute to Singin' and Dancin' Kids (a special luncheon where campers meet and hear about the various theater jobs from real theater professionals).
