The Freelance Players Summer Program is a three-week arts program for youth ages 8-16. At the end of the session, campers will produce and perform an original musical. In addition to learning their part in the musical and honing their acting, singing, and dancing skills, there are opportunities throughout the session to engage in the entire theatre process! The summer program is a collaborative project dreamed up and supported by both Rehearsal for Life and the fantastic team at Bellforge Arts Center. Final performances of the summer take place at Bellforge Art Center’s incredible outdoor stage.
Every participant is cast in the show, and no experience is necessary to attend. Auditions are held on the first day to help find the best place in the cast for your child.
For Participants: Please prepare 16 measures of a song of your choice and a spoken piece.
Please contact office@rehearsalforlife.org if you have any questions.
