Overview

Camp Broadway® was founded in 1995 and exists today because of the commitment and support of many people working on or around Broadway who are dedicated to making the theatre accessible to young people.

Summer Theatre Programs
The summer theatre programs are the highlight of the busy year when theatre-loving kids are introduced to the world of Broadway and all aspects of putting on a show in a professional, interactive, and theatrical environment. The program fosters teamwork, discipline, commitment, and support, lessons that will resonate in all areas of our campers’ lives, long after they leave the CAMP BROADWAY® family.

Here are just a few of our most popular programs:

CAMP BROADWAY® – New York City (Ages 10 – 17)
CAMP BROADWAY® – Rising Stars™ Summer Program (Ages 6–9)
CAMP BROADWAY® – Master Class Career Discovery Program™ (Ages 13 – 17)

CAMP BROADWAY® – New York City
For five unforgettable, non-stop days, young people ages 10 to 17 from all over the world participate in our summer theatre program in the heart of the New York City theatre district. We introduce campers to the world of Broadway through classes in dance, voice, acting, as well as various workshops such as make-up, stage combat, physical comedy, and mask work and other related subjects. And since all this requires loads of energy, we provide our campers healthy lunch, snacks, and drinks daily.

This summer, as always, we're offering a week full of special surprises, including workshops with Broadway artists, plus our ninth annual Salute to Singin' and Dancin' Kids luncheon, where
campers get to meet kids currently performing on Broadway. They also get a ticket to see the Wednesday matinee of a Broadway show. Past years' shows include Gypsy and Kiss Me Kate!

On the last day, campers present the Family Finale, a fabulous presentation for family and friends to witness exactly what went into these extraordinary five days. The presentation highlights include "mini-musicals" -past shows include Guys and Dolls, Oklahoma, Fiddler on the Roof, and On the Town. It also includes our traditional Gypsy Showcase, which requires our campers to work together as a team to create an original two-minute musical number that showcases both their inventiveness and individual talents

MASTER CLASS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
The Master Class Career Discovery Program™ offers participants ages 13-17 one-on-one training in acting, voice, and dance. Our working theatre professionals challenge Master Class Career Discovery Program™ participants to surpass the level at which they are currently performing, through workshops, classes and rehearsals that focus students' attention in a variety of areas such as instruction in vocal technique and performance, sight singing and song interpretation, monologue work, scene study, and intensive work in ballet, tap, jazz and musical theatre dance.

As part of the Master Class Career Discovery Program™, we invite lunchtime guests to speak on relevant topics such as the history and styles of musical theatre, future training options (e.g., liberal arts vs. professional theatre school), getting the right headshot, and other realities of a performer's life. We have also assembled appropriate books, magazines, articles and listings to serve as resources for participants as they continue their training.

On the last day of the Master Class Career Discovery Program™, participants learn, rehearse, and perform a Broadway musical scene, in classes taught by professional Broadway performers (including, David Eggers of Thoroughly Modern Millie, Janet Rothermel of Mamma Mia!, and Kelly Crandall from The Boy from Oz). Participants present solos for parents, friends, and peers, and for a panel of Broadway celebrities who offer written comments and a critique of each student's performance.

CAMP BROADWAY® – Rising Stars™ Program
The newest summer program, CAMP BROADWAY® – Rising Stars™ Program, allows our youngest theatre-lovers, ages 6-9, to get in on the CAMP BROADWAY® act! The program will include five days of classes in singing and dancing as well as workshops from theatre professionals in mask making, storytelling, make-up, and rhythm. It also includes many of the elements that have made our original camp so famous, including lunch with Broadway guests
and the Family Finale, a final presentation for family and friends.
