Summer Teen Intensive

Teen Intensive Summer Camp program

Four-week theatre summer camp for students ages 14-18

The Arvada Center Teen Intensive is a program that mimics the rehearsal  and production process of professional Main Stage musicals at the Arvada Center. The program provides a fun  and fast-paced educational setting where participants work with industry professionals to encourage, inspire, challenge and refine students’ performance skills. Participants then apply their skills directly as they  create their characters within the show. In this intensive program, students  gain insights into the entire theatrical production process.

As always, the goal of the Arvada Center Teen Intensive is to educate, promote growth, and provide an atmosphere where students can explore their own creativity and be supported and celebrated for who they are.

This four-week camp will encourage, inspire, challenge, and refine students  at all levels as they come together as strangers and leave as family, all in the spirit of fun.

Mandatory auditions will be held Saturday, May 16 between 9:00am–4:00pm.

All students are required to audition and roles will be cast by May 26.

For the audition, students should prepare a one- to two-minute memorized monologue or reading as well as 16–24 bars of music (please bring an instrumental recording of your music). They should also bring dance shoes and be prepared to learn  a simple dance combination. Students must sign up for an audition upon registration and audition time slots will be assigned by calling the Arvada Center Box Office at 720-898-7200.

Any student not able to make the audition date should send a video of themselves singing and acting to the Arvada Center and this should be received prior to the May audition. No additional audition times will be scheduled.

Auditions will be used to determine casting and all students will be given equal opportunities for participation  in this production. Parents and  students should understand that even if a student is disappointed with their casting, tuition cannot be refunded. Students must attend all rehearsals and performances for this musical theatre intensive. If a performer cannot attend the full rehearsal and performance schedule, please communicate conflicts clearly before auditions. The deadline for reporting major conflicts is May 16. Conflicts may affect casting decisions and staging inclusions.

Please bring a sack lunch each day of camp. Lunch time supervision will be provided for no additional fee.
