EMU Theater announces two musical theater programs<\/a> for youth in summer 2022. These three-week intensives will allow students to hone their skills in acting, singing, and dancing with support from college faculty and award-winning professionals. Both programs will culminate in public performances. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We want to continue to make Harrisonburg a place where the arts can thrive, while also providing opportunities for students from all walks of life to gain confidence, form lasting friendships, and expand their creativity,” says Justin Poole<\/a><\/strong>, program director and associate professor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EMU Theater is known for its quality musical productions that often include community members and local K-12 students. The university\u2019s spring musical \u2013 the opera \u201cNoye\u2019s Fludde\u201d by Benjamin Britten, includes members of the Shenandoa<\/a>h Va<\/a>lley Children\u2019s Choir<\/a>. Several local students were involved in the spring 2021 production of \u201cShrek: The Musical.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The senior program for rising 9th-12th graders is June 27-July 15 with performances July 16 and 17. Participants can choose between a performance track and a technical theater track. The technical theater track includes working with a costume designer, technical director, stage management team, and others to support the production. The program will culminate with the staging of a major musical production. An audition in February or March is required for students on the performance track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The junior program for rising 4th-8th graders is July 25-Aug. 12 with performances Aug. 12 and 13. will culminate in two public performances of a musical revue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
