Whitefish’s Alpine Theatre Project will hold a three-week “Broadway Summer Training Camp” for students in grades 5-12 later this summer, with placement auditions coming up on Sunday, June 4 at 2 p.m. at the Whitefish Performing Arts Center.
The camp will be led by a cadre of veteran Broadway performers, including ATP co-founders Betsi Morrison (“The Sound of Music”) and Luke Walrath (“42nd Street”). Other instructors are Amelia Cormack (“Kinky Books”), Nyssa Duchow (national tour of “Once”), Mike Eldred (“Les Miserables” and “The Civil War”), Eric Michael Krop (“Godspell”), N’Kenge (“Motown”), Dan Sharkey (“The Music Man” and “Amazing Grace”), Soara-Joye Ross (“Les Miserables” and “Dance of the Vampires”), Rebecca Spear (national tour of “Forbidden Broadway”) and Becky Stout (former Radio City Rockette).
Camp sessions will be Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., from July 17 to Aug. 5. At the end of the camp, students will put on two performances of Tony Award-winning musical “Thoroughly Modern Millie.”
The June 4 auditions will determine casting within the production and students are encouraged to register in advance to receive the audition materials.
Tuition for the camp is $300 with some scholarship assistance available. Interested students can contact Walrath at like@atpwhitefish.org or 406-862-7469. Additional information is also available at www.atpwhitefish.org/intensive.
