Daily classes in acting, movement, and music will challenge students to explore the nuances of theatre technique and provide a framework for approaching songs, scenes, and monologues, developed and performed in an original revue at the end of the two weeks. This session is ideal for students who are passionate about theatre, excited to collaborate in a pre-professional environment with peers and industry experts, and looking to grow and develop as artists. Space is limited.

REGISTRATION OPENS APRIL 19

These can be done together or separate. $175/camp or $300 for both
Early and late care available for an additional fee of $50 (7:45am drop off and 5pm pick up)
Princesses
Students in grades 1-6
Princesses will take place in the morning from 9am – Noon. Performances will take place at 12pm on Friday
This camp is for those wanting to explore the inner workings of the princesses.
Take a ride with Jasmine on a magic carpet and befriend her tiger pet. Explore with Ariel under the sea, finding gadgets and gizmos galore while maybe kinda shirking some princess responsibilities or explore uncharted territory with Moana. Find out just what kind of princess YOU are, and how you want to run YOUR kingdom!
Villains
Students in grades 1-6
Villains will take place from 12:30pm – 3:30pm. Performances will take place at 3:30pm on Friday
This camp is for those wanting to explore the inner workings of the princesses and/or their so-called villains.
Villains… are they really all THAT bad? There’s always another side to the story. Why did Ursula really steal Ariel’s voice? Did Jafar have the keen mind for details necessary to be a better leader than the absent-minded Sultan? Was Gaston really just trying to protect his neighbors from a seemingly reclusive, moody, beast-type monster? Let’s explore the other side of the story and our imaginations, and see what things look like from the other side.

EVERYTHING IS ROSIE
SPECIAL EVENT
Everything is Rosie tells the story of Rosemary Clooney’s rise to top of the Billboard charts in the 50’s, her success in Hollywood in films like WHITE CHRISTMAS followed by her mental breakdown, and finally her triumphant return to the top of the jazz charts in the 80’s and 90’s. It is a compelling story of heartbreak, tragedy, perseverance, and triumph. As Wendy takes the audience on a riveting trip through Rosemary’s life, she interweaves some of Rosemary’s most beloved hits such as “Come On A My House”, “Half as Much”, “Hey There”, and Tenderly” as well as songs from her movie musicals including WHITE CHRISTMAS and jazz standards by composers such as George Gershwin, Duke Ellington, and Harold Arlen

Taught in person on the Mainstage
Why should the kids have all the fun this summer? In this new class – for adults! – instructor Tom Chalmers covers the spirit and techniques involved in creating and performing physical comedy.
This course will teach many of the tools used to build a bold physical comedy bit, such as trips, stumbles, falls, takes, doubletakes, slow burns, and more. You’ll learn how to do these stunts sharply and safely! Plus, the class will finish with a limited friends-and-family performance!

Join us Tuesday nights, beginning April 13th, as The Magnetic Theatre teams up with the wizards at Smoky Park Supper Club to host a live, outdoor variety show. We’ll be filling Smoky Park’s gorgeous, riverside outdoor space with comedy, theatre, music and so much more.
There will be food and beverages available for purchase.
- This is a BYOC (Bring-Your-Own-Chair) event.
- In accordance with safety guidelines this show will be staged outdoors, with mask and social distancing protocols enforced. There will also be temperature checks and COVID waivers that need to be signed by each attendee at the gate.
- Please arrive at least 15 minutes before the 7pm showtime.
- We do require that masks be worn at all times unless you are actively eating or drinking.
