NEW CONCORD – Thirty-six 21 high school students will participate in a summer high school musical theater camp June 16-22 at Muskingum University.
They will make a public appearance in Caldwell Hall on campus on June 22 at 2:30 p.m. The production will feature 15 scenes from a variety of Broadway musicals.
The camp has 10 to 11 staff members and a ratio of three students to one staff member. Throughout the week, students are immersed in daily movement classes, private singing lessons, scene study, improvisation and acting sessions, master classes and more. In the evening there are events such as square dancing, swimming, movie musicals and making friends. This year many students who have attended previous camps are returning. Local students include Tanner Caudill and Kole Williams of John Glenn; Jaclyn Connell and Cohen Todd of Bishop Rosecrans; Josiah Cutlif, Nealonah Johnson, Madison Peters and Rylea Scott of Cambridge; Brody Johnson, Kynsington McMasters and Lanie Nickerson of River View; Adalynn Miller of the Mid-East Career Center; Mikayla Shocking of Shenandoah; Minh-Lien Scott and Minh-Phuong Scott from Philo; Taven Shirkey of New Lexington, Josie Smith of Meadowbrook; Hugh Snyder of West Muskingum; Sara Waggle of Tri-Valley; and Becca Wharton of Sheridan.
The camp began in 2006 and is recognized and supported in part by the Ohio Arts Council, which helped fund the program to promote educational excellence, cultural enrichment and economic growth.
