Camp Broadway Performing Arts Summer Camp Sets Up At ASU Gammage 6/15-19

Camp Broadway, a performing arts summer camp for theater-loving kids' ages 10 to 17 sets up shop at ASU Gammage on June 15-19 2009. Campers will work collaboratively with Broadway's most distinguished professionals. Plus, campers will have a chance to see the Broadway hit CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG and interact with the cast and crew.

Since 1995, Camp Broadway has been the "children's theater" camp. Camp Broadway sets out to be different and its goal is to open a door into the authentic world of Broadway traditions, bringing theater-loving kids together with Broadway professionals.

Campers at ASU Gammage will attend classes in acting, scene study, improvisation, music theory, singing and dancing. The camp fosters teamwork, discipline, commitment and support while introducing kids to the world of Broadway and all aspects of putting a show together in a professional, interactive and theatrical environment. The week-long day camp culminates in a final performance open to family, friends and the public.

Camp Broadway Artistic Director Tony Parise says, "We introduce classic Broadway to new generations, so that we can keep live theater alive. Broadway theater has a unique heritage. Around the world, "Broadway" means a distinctive sense of excitement and magic. It is this one-of-a-kind spirit that drives Camp Broadway."

This year's camp is sold out, but ASU Gammage is taking registrations now for next summer's camp held June 15-20, 2010.

Located on the Tempe campus of Arizona State University, ASU Gammage is among the largest university-based presenters of performing arts in the world. ASU Gammage is the home theater of M&I Bank Across America - Arizona and the BEYOND series. Its mission is to connect communities through artistic excellence and educational outreach. ASU Gammage is a historic hall designed by internationally renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright. asugammage.com
