MERIDEN
Musical Theater Camp 2011
MTC is the Meriden Youth Theater’s summer program and a part of the Meriden YMCA’s Mt. Mist Day Camp. Each summer,
MTC produces a performance every 2 weeks. A full show normally takes months of preparation, but who wants to wait? Each
session squeezes in read-throughs, auditions, choreography, blocking, rehearsals, costumes, and performances into just 9
days.
With all the rehearsing, we still plan plenty of fun including free time and pool time each day. Some sessions include special
events like the Leo Palooza Carnival and camp favorite, MTV Day.
An MTC Session:
The summer is divided into 4 sessions (2 weeks each). On Day 1 we introduce the show to everyone with a read through.
Day 2 the campers audition. On days 3-8 we learn choreography, block the show, and rehearse. On day 9 we run through the
show once in full costume, then a second time in full tech. That evening (Thurs) we perform our show for the entire camp,
parents, and friends. Then the celebration for all the hard work begins: the overnight! MTC gets to swim at night, watch
movies, and camp out under the pavilion!

NEW BRITAIN
NEW BRITAIN YOUTH THEATER OFFERS
SUMMER PROGRAMS FOR AGES 4 THROUGH 12
Registration Already Open for All Summer Programs
New Britain, CT – New Britain Youth Theater has announced summer theater programs for ages four through twelve to be
held in June and July at Jefferson Elementary School in New Britain. Registration for the programs is open to children from
any town.
The theater company has already begun registration for the programs, NBYT’s Twisted Tales. NBYT will hold the program at
Jefferson Elementary School on Horse Plain Road in New Britain near the Farmington border. According to Executive
Producing Director Darren Farrington, “Jefferson offers us a large auditorium, a cafeteria for lunches (children should bring
their own), and wide outdoor space including a playground for breaks. The location right off Route 84 is great for commuters
too. We’re really excited about being there.”
In NBYT’s Twisted Tales, children will “twist” or re-imagine classic stories and fairy tales to perform on stage. Children will
help to create scripts, costumes, props and sets for two to three short plays based on classic fairy tales or children’s stories.
“Some ideas we’ve had,” said Executive Artistic Director David Sousa, “are Snow White and the Seven Ninjas or The Three
Little Pigs in Space, but we hope children will come with many ideas of their own too.”
The summer program will be held in three sessions. A Junior Session for ages 4 through 6 begins on Monday, June 27, and
runs through Friday, July 1. Program hours are 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. for this youngest group, and the cost is $100.00 per
child. All children will be part of a “share day” performance held on stage for families and friends on the last day of the
program.
In July, two sessions will be held for ages 7 through 12. Session One will meet weekdays from Tuesday, July 5, through
Friday, July 15. Session Two will meet weekdays from Monday, July 18, through Friday, July 29. Hours are 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.
m. for this age group. Children can register for two weeks or all four, and stories and activities will be different in each
session. A final performance for families and friends will be held on the last day of each session. Cost for the program is
$160.00 for Session One and $175 for Session Two (the difference because Session One won’t meet on Monday, July 4). For
both sessions—all four weeks—the cost is only $300.
In addition to NBYT’s Twisted Tales, the theater will soon announce a Teen Company summer program for ages 13 through
18. Auditions and class schedules for Fall 2011 will also be announced during the summer. For more program details,
registration forms, and general information about New Britain Youth Theater, please visit the company’s website at www.nbyt.

This summer program for children and teens has been an NMS favorite for more than thirty years! Using creative dramatics
as a cornerstone, participants are grouped by age into color groups and enjoy a wide range of activities designed to
encourage self-expression and creativity, exploring all aspects of creating a musical theatre production. Our oldest group will
work on Meredith Wilson’s The Music Man.
In addition to daily drama, movement, singing, visual arts, yoga, improvisation, lunch and recreation, children in Blue Group
through Theatre Group participate each morning in their choice of special activities (“intensives”) led by Audubon Arts staff
and NMS faculty. Choices include Vocal Ensemble, Dance, Art, Creative Writing, Instrument Sampler, Beginning and
Intermediate Instrument Study, and Musical Improvisation.
Parents are welcome to join daily lunchtime concerts held in the Park of the Arts, adjacent to NMS. Concerts are “open mic”
and feature Audubon Arts participants, staff and special guests. All are welcome to share a talent! Midweek, participants look
forward to Wacky Wednesdays, when those inclined come to NMS in madcap outfits and off-the-wall attire.
Your child’s summer experience at NMS will include songs, smiles, hugs, cheers and much laughter!
