Summer 2024 Performing Arts Spotlight Program
Do you have a rising star in the family who just has to spend a part of the summer exploring, growing and showing-off their talents in the Musical Theatre Arts of Acting, Dancing & Singing? The New York Conservatory for the Arts Summer Program will put the spotlight on their summer with the theatre experience they are looking for.
Always fun and filled with good friends and personal growth; we introduce youth performers to the joy, passion of, and commitment to the theatre-world led by our New York State and Ulster County award winning staff from Carnegie Mellon University, Hartt School of Music, LIU C.W. Post, Manhattan School of Music, Skidmore College and the Iconic Woodstock Playhouse steeped in Theatre, Music and Hudson Valley History.
With comfortable air-conditioned studios and daily outdoor time for lunch & relaxation, our main workshop meets from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Mondays thru Fridays; and for those in ‘CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG’, performances take place on Friday & Saturday Evenings and Sunday Afternoons, July 5 - July 21.
