The Artist Series Hosts 11th Annual CAMP BROADWAY 6/13-17

Camp Broadway, presented by The Artist Series, is returning to Jacksonville for its 11th year on June 13 - 17, 2011 from 8:30AM - 5:00PM! Camp Broadway introduces kids aged 9 to 17 to the world of life on-stage and behind the scenes. No singing, dancing, or acting experience necessary! Just a willingness to have fun and a curiosity about what happens on stage and behind the curtain! Our teaching staff of theater professionals offers each camper the opportunity to expand his or her creative talents, build self-esteem, learn the art of collaboration and gain a fuller respect and understanding of musical theater.

It has been proclaimed the "Camp of Dreams" for all those starry-eyed kids who are just beginning to dream of being on Broadway someday. It is a self-contained summer workshop that travels around the country bringing Broadway to kids. In a week-long program, aspiring young campers learn about the theater from Broadway performers.

The 40 hours of camp include singing, dancing and master classes for kids ages 9 to 17. With authentic Broadway instructors teaching dance routines and musical numbers at the same break-neck speed as A real BROADWAY show, Camp Broadway® is a fun-filled week activities designed to teach kids about the serious business of live theater.

Camp Broadway® will be held Monday, June 13 to Friday, June 17 at the Wilson Center for the Arts, 11901 Beach Blvd. Camp hours are 8:30AM to 5:00PM each day. Tuition for Camp Broadway is $550.00 per camper, with half due at time of registration, and applications are still being accepted.
