I'm looking for a Broadway or theatre summer camp. Sorta cheap and preferably on or near the east coast...also needs to be for high school students...Thanks so much :)
It really said US Navy, but hey, I worked with what they gave me ok.
...What happened next, was stranger still, a woman breathless and afraid, appeared out of the night, completely dressed in white. She had a secret she would tell, of one who had mistreated her. Her face and frightened gaze, my mind cannot erase...But then she ran from view. She looked so much like you...
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."
--Aristotle
Must do my shameless plug here: Long Lake Camp for the Arts.

Pretty much the perfect Summer Camp enviroment mixed with not only theater but circus acts, dance productions, and rock bands. It was awesome. Best 3 weeks of my entire life. Just some of the shows they did this summer were: A Chorus Line, Bat Boy, Urinetown, The Foriegner, Once on this Island,and Rocky Horror Picture Show
Interlochen is fabulous, hoping to go to school there next year, Cap21 I have heard GREAT things about, and Long Lake I also have heard good things about.
Its totally based on what electives you take. I know Voice Majors who took no dance classes and Voice Majors who took all dance classes. The only thing is, the dances you learn is what you're in in the final showcase so if you're in no dance classes, you basically sing your 32 bars and are done.

On of the absolute best is Oklahoma City University. They have a junior high and high school musical theater program. I have a friend who went last year and it was amazing! You do training in the day in music theory, dance, acting, diction, audition prep. At night you do rehearsals for their musical. And it's a real musical, not some made up/slapped together song revue. They did Bridie last year. It's hard to get in.
