SUMMER ARTS AT THE CABARET is the Professional Experience
In addition to our professional staff, (most of whom will be returning!!!), the Cabaret provides us with the opportunity to work in a truly outstanding professional theater. Our five week intensive dramatic arts and musical theater program is designed specifically for dedicated young performing artists (PAs) who are serious about furthering their performance skills, who love theater and love to perform.

This program was created to give every PA a great deal of stage time. All PAs will work to their own individual ability. Opportunity for lead roles and featured performances are there for everyone to aspire to as all PA’s will be in multiple ensemble production numbers. It is our goal for each and every PA to broaden their understanding of the dramatic arts while developing their skills and talents in an atmosphere of artistic excellence. PA’s will receive daily professional instruction in Acting, Improvisation, Voice and Dance, and will explore essential concepts including “technique and “method” as is age appropriate.

Rehearsals for the Showcase Productions are an ongoing part of each day and will focus on the “process” as related to the skills mastered while preparing for performance. PAs will develop their craft during this “process”, as they “take creative risks” and “learn to be in the moment” each resulting in a confident and professional actor, and therefore quality professional productions.
