The Summer Musical Conservatory is a fun filled high energy program that gives students ages 6-18 the training and experience of performing a real Broadway style musical.  Instruction is geared to awaken individual talents and freedom of self expression, memorization, script interpretation, stage presence and working within a group setting as they hone their “triple threat” skills.

 

Our 2024 production is  Once Upon a Mattress. A very fractured fairy tale based on “The Princess and the Pea”.  Set in a fifteenth-century kingdom, wicked Queen Aggravain has declared no one is allowed to get married until her son Prince Dauntless finds a worthy princess, but gives each possible contender an impossible-to-pass test – that is until the awkward young Princess Winifred arrives.  Might she be the next Bachelorette to pass - or fail like the others?  Music by Mary Rodgers (Freaky Friday), Lyrics by Marshall Barer, and book by Jay Thompson, Dean Fuller and Barer.  With its good score, witty lyrics and book, this show is sure to delight the entire family!   

 

All auditions, rehearsals and performances will be held at Meadow Brook Theatre on the campus of Oakland University.  All who audition will receive a role, but enrollment is limited!
