Music Theatre Production-Mama Mia!

July 30 @ 2:00 pm - August 12 @ 8:00 pm

Music Theatre Production has been cancelled for this summer.  Check back in the fall to see our revised schedule for the summer of 2024

This is a brand new camp intended to compliment our other theatre camp (now called Music Theatre Skills) at the Shell Lake Arts Center and is for students who love musical theatre!  Whether you have lots of experience on the stage or are a newcomer to performing, this is an AMAZING opportunity to grow and improve your skills and abilities.  Through the process of producing a full-length musical, our goal is to build an ensemble where one didn’t exist before.  The “family” brought together through performance creates powerful and life-long relationships.  Friends for life–that’s what we aim to do!

Join us for the Shell Lake Arts Center’s first full length Broadway production Mamma Mia!  This camp will run for 2 consecutive weeks with multiple performances at the conclusion.

July 30 @ 2:00 pm - August 12 @ 8:00 pm

Pre-Camp Rehearsal Weekend-June 9-11, 2023

The goal of the pre-camp weekend is to familiarize our cast with the show.  During the course of the three days, students will learn all of the songs and some of the choreography.  The expectation is that students will leave after the weekend knowing what music they will need to memorize and learn by their return on July 30th.  They will be provided with electronic resources to help with this.
