Summer Intensives#1

Posted: 1/22/08 at 1:50am

Hi everyone!

I am 23 and will be receiving a bachelor of music in voice performance this spring. I've been in musical theatre productions at my college for the past 5 years but I want to hone my skills by training at a summer intensive program.

Which one is better: CAP 21 in NYC or Broadway Theatre Project in FL?

Thanks so much for your help!

Cap 21 is 6 weeks of pure amazing joy. You learn about a semesters worth of stuff in 6 weeks.. The teachers are incredible and the friends you make are life long. What you are taught sticks with you... and my god if you get the chance to go to cap summers... GO!

All I know about either, really, is that Mary Walkley (of the BTP) is an AMAZING vocal instructor.

I don't know much about BTP, but I went through CAP in 2006 and it was one of the best academic investments I have ever made. The training is top notch and people come from all walks of life to study there. It's not competitive in any way so you don't have to worry about impressing anyone or being upstaged. You focus on your own personal growth as an MT performer and over those 6 weeks you will really evolve. I reccommend that you go as a full time student so you'll get the dance training in the mornings. I went in as a science major, who just wanted to see if the theatre was a place I could exist in and my CAP summer really changed my life. I'm now a theatre major at my school and I couldn't see myself doing anything else. If Bill Daugherty is still around there I highly reccomend that you try to get into one of his CAP classes. He is truly inspiring and will help you find things in your voice that you never knew you had. And what better place to study theatre than at a studio that's a train ride away from the theatre district. My vote is for CAP

Going to a musical late in its run is like going to a prostitute late in her shift.
