work on one show each session. You will be responsible for creating a
prompt book from which you will call the show on performance weekend,
the overall organization of the production elements of the show,
communication between departments as well as teaming up with the
director to keep the rehearsals on track. Every Director is
different…some will want you to focus more on maintain control of the
campers in rehearsal and some will want to do more of that themselves.

hopefully will get a varied experience. There is no guarantee as to
musical or non-musical assignments and we view all shows & spaces as
if they are the only one we are doing.

teach dance classes in one or more dance styles (depending on skills
& desire) 3 days a week, as well as assist a Director /
Choreographer on a show. Every Director/Choreographer is different, and

want you to teach it for them and some will want your input into the
overall choreography through collaboration and/or even choreographing a
number. Over the summer you’ll work on 3 shows with 3 different
choreographers so hopefully will get a varied experience.
