5th Avenue Musical Theatre Camp Summer 2008

This year (in addition to doing Urinetown =S) I had the pleasure of doing the 5th Avenue Theatre's Musical Theatre Camp. It ran from August 11-23 at the Theatre Puget Sound facilities in the Seattle Center... which was quite convenient because Urinetown was just downstairs! There were 4 groups of "Seniors," and then one group of "Juniors." The Seniors had class from 10-6, while the Juniors had class from 10-3. It was SOO MUCH FUN!

The camp consisted of 5 classes every day (for the Seniors) with an hour break for lunch =) Some of the classes were Song Interpretation, Vocal Technique, Text Analysis, Fundamentals of Dance, and Broadway Dance! In addition to these classes, we were cast in four production numbers (with all the Juniors doing their own). I was in Paris Original (from How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying), but the other three numbers were The Three Bs from Best Foot Forward, The Ballad of Sweeney Todd from Sweeney Todd, and Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats from Cats!

I really love this camp because the final performance isn't open to parents or those who aren't involved in the camp. Unlike other theatre camps that I've been involved in, the pressure of the last performance isn't really there, making the process of putting these numbers together much more fun!

I definitely recommend the 5th Ave classes and workshops to anyone who is interested in musical theatre or even wants to make it their career, because they have amazing instructors and valuable information for anyone who loves to perform!
