Program runs 2 weeks, July 14 – July 25

Final showcase Friday, July 25 at 7pm
Half of each day will be an advanced conservatory-style training program, working with professional artists to fine-tune acting, choreography, and song preparation skills. The other half will be devoted to rehearsing for the final showcase, featuring selections from the award-winning score of Little Shop of Horrors. The showcase will take place on our Leonard C. Haas Stage, on the set of our mainstage production of the musical! Instead of fully-staged scenes from the musical, the showcase selections are designed to highlight every performer with solo and ensemble pieces. You'll emerge from this program with new confidence as an artist, and the tools to help pursue your next dream role.
