Eight area students performed in New York City for the Radio City Christmas Spectacular pre-show on Saturday, December 8 and 9 with Camp Broadway. A total of 100 young singers were selected from across the country and were split into two groups of 50 to perform a 5-minute acappella classic holiday medley. This performance followed a day-long vocal intensive with Camp Broadway’s creative team and guests Christine Riley (National Tour of Thoroughly Modern Millie) and Kristin Eley (New York Pops Teaching Program).

Camp Broadway’s Mainstage program has been offered through Shea’s Performing Arts Center since 2000. Mainstage is an ensemble-based day camp for students ages 10 to 17. In 2017, The Next Step camp was added for students ages 14 to 17 looking for more individualized study and performance experience.

The 2019 camp dates will be announced shortly. Registration opens in March 2019. Contact Holly Grant at hgrant@sheas.org or 716-829-1171 for questions or to be added to the mailing list.
