Community Events
Summer Camp Opportunity for Center School students who are interested in theater arts and production at the Lucy Moses School
These are PAID internships open to incoming 8th graders or graduating 8th graders interested in gaining experience in theater production. Those participating will be instructed on the basics of set and props design, and participate in building the set and props for the Summer Musical Theater Workshop (SMTW) https://www.kaufmanmusiccenter.org/lms/class/c17423/. SMTW is a month-long summer day camp in which staff and campers produce up to seven original musicals as a full-scale production at Merkin Hall.
For those who aren’t yet qualified for the internship, or for those who are more interested in the performative aspect of theater, the camp itself offers a positive, supportive environment to help campers learn and improve their skills in acting, singing, and dancing on stage. It’s also a fantastic program for those who want to gain a little more self-confidence.
The hours for the internship would be Monday to Friday 10-4. For those who are interested in trying out the camp itself (open to those from 1st grade to 12th grade), the camp hours are Monday – Thursday from 10-4. There is an interview process for internship candidates, so it’s better to apply sooner rather than later.
For more information on either of these programs, please contact Laine Diep at lained2003@gmail.com. To apply for the internship opportunities, please email Sean Heartly at SHartley@kaufmanmusiccenter.org.
