Bay Street Theatre is happy to present three different summer camp opportunities with spots filling quickly! Each week-long session will be held at Nova's Ark in Water Mill from 2pm - 4:30pm daily for kids ages 8 - 12. Children can sign up for one week or all three weeks.
First up is Bay Street's already popular MUSICAL THEATER CAMP which returns for one- week only, Monday, July 5th thru Friday July 9th, from 2pm to 4:30pm daily. With Broadway's
Debra Barsha again at the helm, this camp offers an opportunity for kids ages 8-12 to learn all aspects of creating and performing in a show. Students will write and star in their very own mini-musical which will incorporate many of the dramatic arts, including singing, dancing, acting, improvisation, and more. Ms. Barsha can currently be seen as the pianist, singer and Assistant Conductor of Broadway's Jersey Boys. This camp is always a hit and fills up quickly.
From Monday, July 12th thru Friday, July 16th from 2-4:30pm, Bay Street's new ROOTS OF RHYTHM CAMP will please new and expert drummers alike. In this drumming camp, children will experience traditional hand drums and the way in which they apply to the modern drum set. The kids will learn how to fully enjoy and appreciate the power of rhythm! The camp will explore rhythm and how it has become the backbone of many of today's musical genres, including jazz, blues, rock, funk and latin. The Roots of Rhythm Camp will be taught by local musician Claes Brondal the musician behind the vastly successful Bay Burger Jam Session which was held this winter at
Bay Street Theatre and continues now at Bay Burger on Thursday evenings.
Monday, July 26th thru Friday, July 30th, is Bay Street's PRODUCTION LAB CAMP which is based on a successful kids class held at Bay Street this past Spring. Kids who love music and computers will love The Production Lab as they imagine, create and perform in a live multi-media production! Students share and create music, words and pictures using traditional instruments and computer technology. The final production will be showcased on stage, recorded and filmed. All participants will receive an edited DVD of their collaborative work at the end of the session! The Production Lab Camp will be taught by local artists Robbie McDonald and Steve Watson. Robbie is a writer and director, as well as an award-winning creator of nationally recognized humanitarian productions. Steve has been seen on Broadway as a musician and composer and is also a music educator.
Bay Street's summer camps will be held at NOVA'S ARK at 60 Millstone Road in Water Mill. Nova's Ark Project represents a movement for exploring organic dimensions in art, architecture and social philosophy. The scope is to develop a new form of contemporary art of universal meaning called Integral Art. This creative educational process takes place at The Ark Project Sculpture Park where Nova's numerous large-scale sculptures, integrated with nature, can be viewed by the public. www.thearkproject.com.
The cost for Camp is $375 for any one of the week-long programs. Each session will be held Monday thru Friday from 2pm - 4:30pm. Children may attend one-week or all three if they choose! To reserve space call Bay Street's administrative office at 631-725-0818, ext 110. Space is limited!
