AT THE MALTZ JUPITER
THEATRE
GOLDNER CONSERVATORY OF PERFORMING ARTS
Junior and Senior
Conservatory Campers will present the full musicals In the Heights and You’re a
Good Man, Charlie Brown onstage at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre
February 20, 2019 (Jupiter) – Where can you find characters from Dr. Seuss, Mary
Poppins, The Little Mermaid, popular Disney favorites and
large-scale kids’ musicals under one roof?
At
the Maltz Jupiter Theatre’s popular Goldner Conservatory of Performing Arts
summer camp programs, of course!
With
a flexible schedule, budding young performers will participate in a broad range
of theatre-related activities, including acting, dancing, singing, prop-making,
improvisation, storytelling and more. Many of the summer camps conclude with
unique themed showcase performances.
The
two largest camp shows will be performed on the Theatre’s stage: the Senior
Conservatory’s In the Heights and the Junior Conservatory’s You’re a
Good Man, Charlie Brown. The musicals will be performed complete with
professional production values: sets, costumes, lights, a full orchestra and
more. Enrollment fees are all-inclusive, covering all costumes and
performance-related costs.
“Our
summer camp sessions have something for everyone, from dance, improv and
musical theatre to comedy,” said Julie Rowe, director of education for the
Conservatory. “Our goal is to make sure that all of our students have fun,
express their creativity, build confidence and have the opportunity to perform
in a safe, supportive environment.”
A
great way to introduce children and teens to theatre, the Senior Conservatory
will take place June 10 – 28 (with full performances of In the Heights
on June 28 and 29), while the Junior Conservatory will take place July 8 – 26
(with full performances of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown on July 26
