Summer Intensive: SIX: The Musical – Teen Edition

Unlock your inner diva and step into the spotlight this summer with an unforgettable theatrical experience! Are you ready to take center stage? Join us for an exhilarating, high-energy, immersive summer intensive where you’ll spend just a few weeks preparing for a MainStage production of *SIX: The Musical – Teen Edition*. This exciting program is designed for passionate high school students who are eager to develop their performance skills while bringing the iconic story of the six wives of Henry VIII to life. Over the course of the intensive, you will:

● Work with vocal coaches to perfect the high-octane pop rock score of *SIX*, including
the empowering anthems and show-stopping numbers. Build vocal technique,
harmonies, and learn how to sing in a group while showcasing your individual voice.

● Dance workshops focusing on the choreography and movement style of *SIX*—an
electrifying blend of pop, hip-hop, and modern jazz. Gain confidence and stage presence
as you learn the powerful choreography that will bring the story to life.

● Dive deep into the backstory of each of the six queens, exploring their personalities,
struggles, and triumphs. Work with directors and mentors to create authentic, dynamic
performances that will captivate the audience.

● Collaborate with Industry Professionals: Throughout the intensive, you’ll be coached by
experienced directors, choreographers, and vocal coaches who have worked with
professional companies. We are excited to also bring in a guest artist who was one of
the Queens on BROADWAY to work with our Teen company over a weekend.

● Rehearse Like a Pro: From early rehearsals to dress rehearsals, you’ll get a taste of
what it’s like to be part of a full-scale production happening within a fast paced rehearsal
process.

The program culminates in a thrilling, fully staged MainStage performance of *SIX*, where you’ll showcase your talent to friends, family, and the community. This is not just a summer camp—this is your chance to be part of an exhilarating journey, to challenge yourself, and to grow as a performer. Whether you’re a seasoned theater veteran or new to the stage, *SIX* will offer you the opportunity to shine in ways you never thought possible.
