Morning Session – In the morning we participate in skill-based classes in dance, acting and musical theater.

Wildcard Session – After lunch there will be a “wildcard” session in which we do something different each day. Some days may include: meeting with a casting agent; master class with a star from a Broadway show; creating posters for our performance; costuming workshop; playwriting workshop; and many other exciting things.

Afternoon Session (Performance Workshop) – For the last two hours of camp we will be in our Performance Workshop, where we will be preparing for our performance which will be held on the Friday night at the end of each session.

Elefante Music & School for the Performing Arts is thrilled to announce its first ever Spring Musical! For our first full-length musical theater production, we have chosen to produce the Sondheim/Lapine classic INTO THE WOODS JR.

The Brothers Grimm "go Broadway" as Stephen Sondheim and James Lapine offer up a cockeyed fairy tale where all of your favorite characters – Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Jack (and his beanstalk) and The Witch – meet and interact on their journeys. With unforgettable roles, INTO THE WOODS JR. showcases an ensemble of talented singers and actors. The sophisticated score has been adapted to make it easier – though still challenging – for young performers. INTO THE WOODS JR. is a funny and engaging way to get young people to think about the stories with which they've grown up and the ethical issues raised therein.

In this conservatory style class, beginners spend 30 minutes and advanced students spend 45 minutes learning basic skills in each of the three performance skills for theater: acting, dancing and singing. Students are grouped by age and skill level. The class concludes with a performance on the last day of class and a performance at our Spring Recital!

Acting the Song is designed to teach singers how to best express the meaning of a song and how to approach a song as an actor.
