Pre-Teen Musical Theatre Intensive

Active conservatory students received early registration access on Tuesday, February 3 at 12 PM. Registration opened to the public on Thursday, February 5 at 12 PM.

Program Description

New in 2026!

• Expanded to two 2-week sessions to give even more students the opportunity to participate in this phenomenal and very popular program.

• Students will perform in the intimate BrickBox Theater at the JMAC.

• Some production elements have been simplified to allow for more rehearsal time.

The pre-teen program introduces students to the joy of rehearsing and performing in a show. This program is fast-paced and students work intensely with a director, choreographer and music director over the course of two weeks to perform a junior production of musical. A Junior musical is a condensed version of a full-scale show tailored to the pre-teen age group. Students participate in learning sessions where material from the show is used to teach skills in areas of music, drama and dance. They also spend time rehearsing the show each day which culminates in (2) performances at The BrickBox Theater for a live audience.

Auditions for the show will take place on the first day of the program. Audition materials will be shared a few weeks prior to the program.

Please note, this is an intensive program which works at a fast pace and expects students to be flexible, adaptable, responsible, focused, and capable of handling a high sensory environment.
