Broadway Bound Summer Camps
Broadway Bound Musical Theatre Summer Camps allow young actors the opportunity to participate in a theatrical experience that will develop confidence, responsibility, and teamwork. Participants in our classes build self-esteem as they refine their creativity, active listening, and concentration skills all while learning about musical theatre.
Broadway Bound instructors are theatre professionals – actors, designers, and directors – who teach under the leadership of Lauren Sobon, Dutch Apple Artistic Producer. Professional performers Katelyn Candiello (BFA Drama NYU Tisch School of the Arts, MS Speech-Language Pathology NYU), Alyssa Crook (BA Theatre Muhlenberg College, BA English Literature Muhlenberg College), and Kayla Hall (BA Education Elizabethtown College, M.Ed. Theatre Pedagogy Southeastern Oklahoma State University) serve as camp administrators and instructors, along with a staff of local teen performers who serve as counselors.
