Registration for August Weekly Kids Musical Drama Program

CLASS ACT MUSICAL YOUTH THEATER

Don’t let your kids
be campless this end of summer!  Most camps end in August but CAMYT’s Weekly Drama
Musical Day Programs are still going strong.  NOW is the time to ensure your child
will be actively engaged right up until school starts.  Founded by veteran
children’s theater director Robby Hedge, a young performer’s advocate with dual
degrees in theater and education, CAMYT offers a weekly drama program for the last three weeks in August. 
Programs are held at various locations including WHITE PLAINS

(see below) throughout Westchester and beyond
for children in Grades K to 5. 

• Each week is a new play; parents can enroll their child for one week or
  more.  Weeks are August 12-16, August 19-23 and August
  
  26-30. 
• Each week features a different musical based on a
  
  popular and well-known children’s classic, full of beloved songs and
  
  memorable lines.
• Children will be in an air-conditioned studio happily
  
  engaged in a full day of dramatics rehearsing for the play of their
  
  choice.
• Hours are 9am to 3pm, Monday-Friday for Grades 1-5;
  
  Kindergarteners leave at 12pm.
• Along with rehearsing for the Friday night performance
  
  for family and friends at 6:00pm, children will learn acting, singing,
  
  dance, some set design, costume work and have voice lessons.
• Children will have fun earning many aspects of the
  
  theater while making fabulous new friends.

For over 20 years, CAMYT

has provided countless young performers throughout Westchester

and beyond with the opportunity to develop their dramatic skills in a fun, safe

and creative environment.  Offered to children from Grades K to 7 in

various locations and often in collaboration with Westchester

schools, libraries and recreation departments, CAMYT’s programs focus on

working towards the actual production.  This is unlike many other similar

programs, which compartmentalize the drama discovery process into individual

acting, singing or dance specific classes.  Children begin rehearsing from

the very start, and this works best with their still developing senses of time,

patience and conceptualization.  There are no auditions to enter the

programs and no child is turned away due to lack of experience or

aptitude.  Rather, we create a non-competitive, friendly and respectful

atmosphere and foster children’s talents so that they can truly shine in their

own way.

In addition to its summer

camps, CAMYT also offers year-round programs.  For these programs,

children are joined by adult trained actors in key roles to enhance the

production and provide our young participants with the opportunity to work with

professional talent.  These productions are staged in local school or

community theaters with professional lighting and stage managers.  Parents

are asked to occasionally fill non-speaking roles or to help backstage, making

participation in these programs a wonderful family affair.  Ticket prices

range from $8-$10 and the general public is invited to view these performances,

making these shows a great value for an evening of enjoyable family

entertainment.
