Details

US Performing Arts is proud to partner with the University of Kentucky Department of Theater to present this premier Musical Theater Workshop. This pre-professional program is the essence of the "triple threat". Under the guidance of Broadway professional artists campers will take daily classes in voice, acting and dance. Rehearsals and class preparation will be part of the fun as well as the focus. Evenings will be spent in watching videos and developing critical analysis of performance through the history of musical theater. The week will end with a "work in progress" performance. Students will enjoy the recreational opportunities of the campus, including evening social activities during the week.
