PRESENTED BY

CONTINUO ARTS SUMMER MUSICAL THEATER CONSERVATORY

The Continuo Arts Foundation began its intensive three-week Summer Musical Theater Conservatory this week.  This year’s conservatory will present a double feature: “Beauty and the Beast” and “Aladdin” on July 23^rd with a 3:00 pm matinee and 7:30 evening performance at the Campion Center for the Performing Arts located on the campus of The Oak Knoll School in Summit, NJ.  Director Cristina Ambrose, from New York City and a graduate of the prestigious musical theater master’s program at NYU, brings outstanding experience, knowledge and performance skills to this season’s conservatory.

The Conservatory uses the performing arts to spark creativity, build self-esteem and confidence, and prepare for life.  During this annual three-week musical theater immersion experience, rising stars learn about the key elements of musical theater, enjoy working with an experienced, professional staff, and expand knowledge in areas that match their interests and talents. Performers are inspired in a creative, positive and interactive environment with enrichment in vocal production, acting, dance, choreography, staging, improvisation, character study, make-up techniques, stage management and set design.

 Students are chosen by audition and range in age from 7 – 18.  Performers are from many surrounding communities: Summit, Westfield, Madison, Berkeley Heights, Short Hills, Chatham, New Providence, Union, Elizabeth, and Cranford.

Tickets are $10 adults and $ 5 students.  Call 908-264-5324 for ticket orders or visit the website at www.continuoarts.com
