Join Broadway artists, university faculty and enthusiastic musical theater students from all over the country in a 6-day intensive training academy. Students ages 12-18 live on George Washington University campus while participating in a program, co-directed by the Kennedy Center.



          The Musical Theater program offers daily workshops in the three essential components of musical theater - acting, singing and dancing. Curriculum will include improvisation, scene study, vocal instruction, audition techniques and dance workshops for all levels - from beginner to advanced.



          The Voice, Acting and Dance for the Musical Theater Stage programs offer a more in-depth week of training in these areas and can be taken in conjunction with a Musical Theater.



          Evening events for students include a backstage tour of the Kennedy Center. These exciting, week-long programs culminate in a final performance on the last day - family and friends are invited!

          Experience an exciting summer in Washington, D.C. with US Performing Arts, as we celebrate our fifth year in the nation's capital. Located in the District's historic neighborhood of Foggy Bottom, students will reside on the campus of George Washington University.

          With its ideal northwest locale, George Washington University is within easy visiting of all the historic sites in our nation's capital and steps away from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. These are fantastic programs to coincide with a family vacation to Washington, D.C.
