Smithtown Center for the Performing Arts’ Theatre Education Program Summer Theatre Enhancement is an intensive theatre training program. It is designed to give all students, novices and seasoned performers alike, the opportunity to participate in the theatre experience. While we would like to think all participants will become active theatre participants, the goals of each session are to give the student a creative, collaborative atmosphere that fosters their self-esteem and communication skills.

PROGRAM DETAILS:

This is an intensive theatre program. Students spend all their time working on theatre projects. (No sports or recreation breaks.) Students will spend part of most days in classes including dance, voice for musical theatre, and acting technique/improvisation. These classes will focus on general technique for musical theatre, with an emphasis on audition preparation and technique. It is our goal for every student to become a successful auditioner and to have the correct materials and knowledge to be able to do so. Topics relating to the showcase will also be discussed and presented on most days in a full group setting. The showcase will include full group numbers, small group numbers, and possibly a limited number of solos and/or duets. After students are comfortable and prepared there will be a very low-stress audition process to both evaluate the level at which the students are for class work and to place them into group numbers for the showcase. Any solos and/or duets will be decided on the basis of classwork. 

* Free Massage offer is only good for those students registering and paying in full within the month of February.

    Our Theatre Education Program's goal is to give your child confidence in the theatre arts.  Whether it be public speaking, audition techniques, musical guidance, or improv, our experienced teachers will work with your child one-on-one and in group sessions to teach them what they need to succeed in the theatre world.
