Shea's Winter Break Camp: Sing Your Story!

Shea's Performing Arts Center presents: Sing Your Story! - Winter Break Camp 

Using a song of their choice, students will explore their unique life experience to create a connecting monologue and sing their Story. Students will develop their own ideas, lighting, and costumes, creating a personalized performance where they are the STAR! Sing Your Story will culminate in a showcase on the Shea's Smith Theatre stage open to the community. Led by our Resident Teaching Artist, Ricky Needham. The program will culminate with a song showcase on Friday at Shea’s Smith Theatre for an invited audience of family and friends. Ages 10-17.

Day-to-Day
Sing Your Story students' day begins at 9:00 with warm-ups and ensemble-building work. After that, they will split off into their two “casts” each led by a teaching artist, to take their classes and rehearse their songs and monologues for the final showcase. Students take a lunch break in the middle of the day and head out for parent pick-up at 4:00.

The Staff
Our camp is led by Ricky Needham, our Resident Teaching Artist. The expert teaching artists leading the camp are selected by the Arts Engagement and Education team. The teaching artists will be leading the students in their classes and guiding the “casts” in preparation for their final showcase.

The Final Performance
The final performance takes place in the evening on the last day of camp. Students stay at camp all day through the evening that day, preparing the show for their friends, families, and community professionals. Dinner is provided.
