Students interested in CCM Prep’s Junior Musical Theatre Intensive Performance Troupe will be able to submit audition material July 15-August 15.

The Junior MTI Performance Troupe provides a challenging and disciplined educational experience for middle school students who have a special interest in the production of musical theatre.

Students younger than 10, or older than 14 will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and a decision will be made that best serves the student’s educational interests and the program’s needs.

The students receive instruction in audition preparation, vocal music, choreography, and performance technique while working toward a full scale musical production of “Singin’ in the Rain, Jr.” in May in CCM’s Cohen Family Studio Theater. The students in this class also will present a 15 minute excerpt of “Singin’ in the Rain, Jr.” and attend the Junior Theater Festival in Atlanta, Georgia over Martin Luther King Weekend.

For more information please contact Dee Anne Bryll at bryllda@ucmail.ud.edu or Rebecca Childs at childsr@ucmail.uc.edu or go to the CCM Prep website at http://ccm.uc.edu/prep/theatre_arts/theatreprograms/jmti.html after July 15.

CCM Prep Offers Theatre Design and Tech Workshop Summer Camp

CCMPREP_logoA summer camp for Theater Techies!! What an awesome idea!!

Do you know a high school student who is fascinated by light boards, spotlights, sound boards, props, costumes and scenery and who now wants to know more so they can do more?

This summer the CCM Preparatory Department is offering high school students captivated by stagecraft a chance to take their knowledge and skills to the next level with the Theater Design and Tech Workshop, July 7- 19 at the College-Conservatory of Music. This full-day camp is a comprehensive hands-on program that will introduce students to all the production fields as well as how the design elements of a production are conceived, rendered and implemented. Students will take away practical knowledge they can use in their present high school and community theater endeavors and also explore whether this might be a career path for them to pursue. Either way, it will be two weeks of techie heaven!

For more information, download the attached flyer, check out our website at ccm.uc.edu/prep/immersion2014 or call Dennis Murphy at 513.556.2595.

In-person interviews are coming up on March 22 but you can also apply online before June 7th.
