Summer Camp and Class Description
​
​Your child will be immersed in all aspects of musical theatre (dancing, singing, acting, directing and performing).
​
Dance!
Expect your dancer to learn dance basics with music they love and fun and clever TikTok moves. Our dance practice of Little Barn “dances” will be then transformed with live piano arrangements.
Sing!
Students will have a daily singing warmup and technique class followed by song practice with live piano and / or guitar accompaniments and kid friendly arrangements.
Acting and Directing!
​
A Little Barn favorite!!! We start with acting games to break the ice then we get to work on creating scripts, scenes and monologues with the campers that will be worked into our show themes.
All of our classes will be taught by our lovely LB team of talented, versatile and professional working and teaching artists (mentors) with Kim Eilian, the Little Barn founder and artistic director.
Little Barn philosophy in a nutshell
We have found our students thrive in an atmosphere of kindness, patience and love.
We believe that children find comfort in repetition without tediousness. With a combination of following the student with leadership, we build their trust and love of theatre.
Little Barn Musical Shows
​
The highlight of our Summer program?
Watching our young talents shine as they showcase what they've learned over the summer in front of their families and friends.
​
Throughout our 6 week Summer Camp, we stage two Junior Musicals: one in Week 3 and another in Week 6. For those children enrolled for only 1 or 2 weeks, who would otherwise miss our Show Days, we offer Work-In-Progress Practices on their final Fridays. Families and friends are invited to attend the last hour of camp practice, providing them with a sneak peek of the upcoming show.
​
In our Mini Camps, every Friday features a musical performance.
