Summer Youth Musical Theater Workshop

Theater

The Summer Youth Musical Theater Workshop at Binghamton University has touched the lives of hundreds of youths in Broome and Tioga Counties since its inception in 1998. This will be the third year the Workshop expands to include out-of-town students who will stay on campus. The three-week program for students’ ages 12 through 18 enriches their lives through participation in an artistic process of the highest integrity. Directed and produced by outstanding professionals with notable accomplishments in acting, directing, and music, the workshop provides opportunities for artistic growth, self-expression, education, and teamwork by exposing participants to all aspects of a musical theater production. Held at Binghamton University’s state-of-the-art Fine Arts facility, the program will culminate with four live performances of the musical Legally Blonde: The Musical, open to the public, in the Anderson Center’s Watters Theater.
