The Music Man Jr. is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International.
The workshop staff is composed of child-centered professionals who take care to ensure that each student's potential is reached. Our resident directors, choreographers, costumers and vocal instructors work closely together to determine how best to tap your young actor's talents. The program also features guest instructors who work with the performers on a Musical Showcase which takes place one evening during the summer.
Classes meet primarily in buildings on the Chatham Fairgrounds, with a few rehearsals held at The Mac-Haydn Theatre. The historic and park-like setting of the fairgrounds is the perfect atmosphere for working on a show. However, the final performances are held at the Mac-Haydn. Resident artists handle lights and sound, and the atmosphere is totally professional.
The program serves young people ages 6-18. Participants are divided into classes based on age and level of experience.
Tuition: $450.00

Previous musical productions include The Pirates of Penzance, Wonderland, Walt Disney's Aladdin Jr., Dear Edwina Jr., and Seussical Jr.
