It is our goal for ALL campers to develop skills in the performing arts AND build self-confidence & self-esteem. We welcome all levels of experience and do not require auditions for admission.
OVERVIEW
In preparation for final performances, campers take daily classes in singing, dancing, and dramatics. Occasional rehearsals are held in the evening (alternating with activities & events). All sessions culminate with a large-scale performance for friends, family, and alumni in our state-of-the-art theatre.
FIRST SESSION: PAGEANT (6/24/12 - 7/15/12)
Campers participate in a full-length musical revue involving the
entire camp. Each age group prepares two sections of non-stop singing and dancing. Groups appear on stage - in our beautiful costumes – no less than three times! Past pageants include:
Tributes to Irving Berlin and George Gershwin, Movie Musicals,
Women of Broadway, Rock Musicals, and Tony-Award Winners.
ONE WEEK SESSION: WORKSHOP (6/24 - 6/30)
Get a taste of the Harand experience with this special one-week program. Enjoy the same arts and recreation activities as
first session campers, culminating in a Workshop performance
featuring selections from the Pageant. This
option is perfect for new campers who want to try camp without committing to three weeks. One-weekers always have the option to stay!
SECOND SESSION: MUSICALS(7/16/12 - 8/5/12)
During the second three weeks, each age group prepares a
full-length musical of their very own. Unlike at other camps,
all Haranders have the chance to perform a leading role,
and appear as part of the ensemble – ensuring that EVERY
camper receives the full musical theater experience.
Additional Shows Under Consideration Include: Thoroughly Modern Millie Jr., Once on This Island Jr.,
Beauty and the Beast Jr., 13 the musical, Brigadoon,
Legally Blonde, Avenue Q: School Edition, Chicago, West Side Story, and The Drowsy Chaperone.
PERFORMING ARTS ELECTIVES
Campers may choose to enroll in extra performing arts courses such as management & production, stage makeup, improv, stage combat, auditioning, theater history, and an Advanced Musical Theater Intensive featuring selections from contemporary musicals (First Session only). These are optional and included in tuition.
Musicals and classes are subject to change based on show licensing and staff availability. Placement in shows is based on age group and cast requirements. Some classes may be subject to age restrictions.
SECOND SESSION: MUSICALS
