A Two-Week Summer Exploration of Musical Theatre for Grades 2-6
with J Youth Theatre
June 15-26, 2026 | 9am-3pm | AM/PM Care Available | Optional Provided Lunch
This Summer, Explore the Dramatic World of Heroes & Villains!
Prepare to face off in a two-week grand battle of musical theatre masterpieces as you step into the world of the great Broadway heroes and villains! We will sing, dance, and swim our way through the Pride Lands of Simba and Scar, to the Emerald City with Dorothy and the Wicked Witch, visit the castle of the Beast with Gaston, and swim under the sea with Ariel and Ursula.
Each morning, campers will focus on building skills in the areas of singing, acting, and dancing. After lunch, they will dive into show materials where they will explore a variety of characters and musical styles carefully chosen by our professional performing arts educators. The campers’ work will culminate in a showcase presentation on the last day of camp, when they will perform for friends and family.
