Musical Theatre Conservatory–Broadway Boot Camp 973-868-6259 www.musicaltheatreconservatory.com Limited Enrollment July 6–25 (Final Show in NYC on July 25) Monday–Friday, 9:15am–3:45pm A t Musical Theatre Conservatory, “Theatre for Life” is more than just a motto; it is their guiding philosophy. Through their Broadway Boot Camp, which takes place this summer from July 6–25, children aged 7 to 19 get the opportunity to bring this philosophy to life.

Broadway Boot Camp teaches children the skills they need to actually get on stage and do what they love. Whether they are an experienced performer or just starting out, MTC students work with theatre professionals, who are committed to giving every child the solid foundation they need to be the best performer they can be. From the material and faculty they choose, to the specialized way they teach all aspects of performing–it’s all about providing your child with a summer theatre experience they will never forget!

Each day, students will enjoy a rotating schedule that includes: Voice, Acting, Theatre Dance, Hip Hop, Song Interpretation, Comedy Improvisation, Stage Combat, TV & Commercial Acting, Audition Techniques, Make-Up, and Production Rehearsal. The program ends with a “splash” with their annual Luau Pool Party!

In just three weeks, students are guided from classes to rehearsals culminating in a costumed, cabaret-style show, produced by theatre professionals. Students also have the chance to meet with agents and Broadway actors to get the inside scoop on working in theatre, film, and television. This year’s show will be held at Symphony Space on Broadway and 95th Street.

“I’m very proud of my students,” says Artistic Director Randy Elman. “One of my past students just left the cast of Wicked on Broadway to be in the new revival of Company. Before that, she was in Aladdin on Broadway for 4 years!”

Says Brandon Uranowitz, 2 time Tony Award Nominee,“If it wasn’t for Randy, I wouldn’t be where I am today!”

At MTC, they pride themselves on providing individual attention to all campers. Every student is given the opportunity to participate, grow, succeed, and feel important. The goal is to draw out each person’s individual strengths and at the same time stress the importance of working together.
