Broadway Musical Theatre Camp IVRT

Broadway Musical Theatre Camp IVRT includes acting, singing, movement, and improvisational games and exercises, along with Shakespeare, directing, makeup, mask-making, stage combat, set construction, costume and props, and lighting. Campers also spend time writing their own original plays, gaining materials and skills to audition at local theatres, and rehearsing plays for a final performance. The first weeks function as skills-based workshops, and the final weeks are a performance camp that combines everything learned, including working with a local playwright to write original plays with songs from hit Broadway musicals.
