Musical Theater Workshop: GODSPELL

Students who have completed Grades 8-12, July 12th-July 22nd, 9:30am-4:30pm, Performance @ 1:00pm on Saturday, July 22nd

Now in its 17th year of producing the highest quality student productions on our very own Wagon Wheel stage, the workshop that brought to life such amazing shows as Once Upon a Mattress, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Les Miserables, and 2022’s Something Rotten! is back to put on the fantastic Broadway smash Godspell. Students will experience the thrill of a Wagon Wheel summer as they mount a full-length Broadway musical in eleven days.

This year we are thrilled to announce our Guest Director, Taylor Okey! Taylor graced the Wagon Wheel Stage as Robert in The Bridges of Madison County and has since performed in the National Tour of Bandstand. Coming back to choreograph is another Wagon Wheel alum, Laura Plyler, whose many credits include Ellie in Freaky Friday and Natalie in Next to Normal. Students enrolled in this workshop will get training in acting, singing, and dancing while working toward a final performance on the Wagon Wheel stage for friends and family. Memories and friends made at this intensive will last for years to come.

This 11-day camp culminates in a fully realized production of Godspell. Rehearsals begin Wednesday, July 12th and run through Saturday, July 22nd from 9:30am to 4:30pm every day but Sunday when we’ll have an evening rehearsal. Students should bring lunch and snacks each day.

  • Auditions for specific roles will be held on the first day of camp.
  • The performance will be held at 1:00pm Saturday, July 22nd.
