The Rising Stars Music Theater Program draws students from all over the nation. It is a two-week residential program specifically designed for students who have an interest in the arts and want to cultivate their artistic talents. Whether this is your introduction to musical theater or you are a seasoned performer, our acclaimed program will meet you where you are and allow you to grow in your abilities as an actor, dancer & storyteller. 

Students will explore the foundations of musical theater through acting, singing and dancing under the guidance of our talented, caring and experienced staff. Students will be in rehearsals for the fully staged musical production for most of their day, but will also enjoy classes in dance, acting, and special topics related to musical theater throughout the program.

All students will perform in the fully staged musical at the end of the session. Our Summer 2025 production is still TBD!
