Elite Music Academy’s Musical Theatre Summer Camp!

The world of musical theatre is an exciting one to explore! At Elite Music’s freshly designed Musical Theatre Summer Camps, children and teens will have the amazing opportunity to work with an incredible roster of seasoned professionals. Priceless performance skills will be developed in a positive, team-building environment as each child and teen has a shot to shine in the spotlight!

A Once In A Lifetime Experience

Each participant will be given the chance to hone their singing ability, dance their hearts out, be exposed to the world’s best acting techniques, and become true Triple Threats; finessing their ability to perform a song using all three disciplines.

Not only will they develop skills, but they will also get to know each other through drama games, group vocal exercises, and physical warm-ups. Popular acting activities include joke-telling, tongue twisters, and improvisation games that have been made famous by Second City and Whose Line Is It Anyway?

Each budding thespian will learn vital information about breath support, diction, and resonance as they test their vocal range with scales and warm-ups. This camp is a perfect way to have fun, develop important skills, and stay active in the summer!

A Day In The Life

Each day of camp will run from 9am – 4pm, beginning with real-world, professional warm ups. Our campers will have plenty of opportunities to stretch, move, and get energised! There will be an hour-long break for lunch at mid-day, and then our campers will be back to work, learning music, choreography, and scenes.

Work ethic grows strong as our young superstars train like professionals. They will rehearse as a full ensemble, individually, and in small groups, working closely with our professional creative team. By the end of the week, participants will be well-versed in singing in harmony, equipped with the skills to develop a character, and ready to pick up any choreography that comes their way.

Our program proposes the importance promise of small class sizes, which ensure that each participant is given personalised coaching. This will allow every individual to grow in their own unique way. Physical comedians, dynamic dancers, superstar singers, and potential Shakespearian tragedians-in-the-making will all be given the training and tools to focus on what they love most and shine in the final show.

Many musical theatre camps in the city have up to 25 kids in each class, and a lot of talent ends up getting lost in the crowd and left behind. With Elite Musical Theatre Camps, you can be sure that every individual will receive the attention they need to get to the next level.

For you stage-parents, you can cheer from the sidelines by staying up to date with our camper’s daily activities through Elite Music’s Instagram and Facebook profiles! Just “Like” and “Follow” our pages and enjoy the show!

The Grand Finale

The program will conclude with a cabaret-style performance at the end of the week, where family and friends can witness the spectacle of these freshly trained superstar’s first public performance… Elite Music Cabaret today, Broadway tomorrow! The show will be sure to feature the best of the musical theatre canon; from heart-wrenching ballads, quirky comedy, and rousing choral numbers from shows such as Les Misérables, You’re A Good Man Charlie Brown, and The Sound of Music.

Not only will the cast dazzle the audience with their new Elite Music theatre skills, but the show will also blow you away with stage lighting, props and costumes, and the natural talent of the performers. Each camper will also receive a professionally filmed copy of our showcase performance so they can see the results of their hard work for themselves. This is a show you won’t want to miss!

When the curtain falls, not only will our campers have honed their performance skills, but they will have developed a tireless work ethic, experienced a professional training environment, and learned the importance of working as a team.

Location, Location, Location!

Both the camp and the final performance will take place at Beaches United Church, which is one of the most respected and beloved spaces on the East End. This big, bright, and beautiful building is the perfect place to spend summer days working, learning, and playing. We are conveniently located, and we are the only musical theatre summer camp in the East End-Danforth area.

Elite Music’s Musical Theatre Camp creates a supportive environment, built on hard work, which gives young people the opportunity to improve their confidence, build lasting friendships, and find their own unique voice.

When Does Musical Theatre Camp Run?

There are two sections of our summer program – our Senior Musical Theatre Camp (Ages 13-18), which will be July 17-21, 2017 and our Junior Musical Theatre Camp (Ages 9-12), which runs July 24-28, 2017. Limited space is available for this popular program, so sign up before it sells out!
