Paid registrations for each week are limited to 90 children and are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Ten full scholarships for each week will be awarded in late spring to children on a non-competitive basis.
CAMP BROADWAY NEXT STEP
In addition to the regular National Tour program, we've expanded the Camp Broadway program with the addition of Camp Broadway: The Next Step for teens interested in pursuing theatre coursework in college and/or a career in the theatre.
This week-long program featuring several workshops by Broadway artists from current New York shows will be offered to 40 participants ages 14-17 with strong singing, dancing, and performing backgrounds and will take place August 18-22, 2008.
For more information on this exciting new program, contact Cynthia Goldsmith at 401-421-2997 Ext. 3105, or
