The Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County has announced the return of Camp Broadway Miami for the fourth consecutive year, Aug. 6-10, including a finale performance on Aug. 10 inside the Center’s John S. and James L. Knight Concert Hall.
Presented in partnership with Camp Broadway, an industry leader in theater arts camps, educational programming and special events since 1995, Camp Broadway Miami is an immersive summer camp for theater-loving children (ages 10-17) offering enriching, hands-on experience in theater, song and dance. Camp Broadway Miami welcomes all skill levels; no prior experience is required to enroll.
Registration is now open. For pricing, scholarship opportunities and additional information, visit www.arshtcenter.org/CampBroadwayMiami, or send email to education@arshtcenter.org.
Camp Broadway Miami enables kids with an interest in the arts to develop their confidence, character and presentation skills through ensemble performance. During this program, campers will be immersed in an authentic Broadway rehearsal process that allows them to be successful regardless of experience level.
Inspired by Broadway’s cherished works and steeped in its grand traditions, the camp is designed to build confidence, inspire creative expression, and instill well-being in both aspiring artists and future audiences.
This summer, Camp Broadway Miami is featuring an iconic musical about putting on a musical, 42nd Street. The ultimate show-biz musical, 42nd Street is a celebration of Broadway, Times Square, and the people who make the magic of musical theater. Aspiring chorus girl Peggy Sawyer comes to the big city from Allentown, PA, and soon lands her first big job in the ensemble of a glitzy new Broadway show. But just before opening night, the leading lady breaks her ankle. Will Peggy be able to step in and become a star?
Camp Broadway Miami programs are non-competitive and ensemble-based. A typical session includes master classes in voice, dance and acting, Q and A sessions with industry professionals, and a backstage seminar with a production crew. In addition, campers will have the opportunity to rehearse and perform on four different performance spaces at the Arsht Center — the very same stages that multiple theater, music and dance legends have graced — including the center’s acclaimed Knight Concert Hall.
Camp attendees will receive official Camp Broadway T-shirts and a “cast of characters” headshot. Master class instructors have Broadway credits; younger instructors have national tour or other professional credits. Directors, choreographers, musical directors, acting coaches and stage crew all contribute to the instruction, providing a holistic view of Broadway production. Camp Broadway continues to build a network of national, professional theaters to encourage youth participation in the performing arts.
