Leading the Show!–Weeklong Camp for Teens Ages 13-17

This event has past. For upcoming events please click here.

July 31
at 9:30am

Campers can choose one character from the history of musical theatre or plays that they are interested in studying, and with guidance, take a thorough examination of that character’s arc and journey throughout their respective show.

Students will then begin work on two selected songs, and one scene from their chosen role. Students gain a first-hand experience of the work that goes into preparing to play a leading role on any stage, whether it be Broadway, regionally, or elsewhere. Students work one-on-one with a teacher on scene and character work to deepen their understanding of the text, through song and script analysis.

Bay Street Theater Student Academy encourages collaborative work, and students will be afforded the opportunity to work with one another on group scenes from their selected shows.

The weeklong camp will culminate with the students presenting their choice of the roles, songs, and scenes for family, friends, and members of the community on Friday, August 4th.

Clown Curious Day for Adults
Category: Education April 27 at 1:00pm

Clown theater is a hilarious and deeply vulnerable art form. We take in the ups and downs of life and laugh them out. It's also personally transformative because our clown characters are based on ourselves, not on characters we invent. Come play, and learn some of the rules of humor and body language that you can then apply to further connection in any setting, personal or professional. First, we share a light body warm-up, then play simple group games that help us feel creative and related. We each don our red nose (provided) in a fun ritual. From there, we engage each other in classic physical comedy exercises, discovering more about our clown characters along the way. No performance experience is needed just an open spirit!
