Camper Describers His Experience at Camp Broadway

From Camper Jaylen Hall, 15 from Mesa

My experience at Camp Broadway has been amazing. I love the camp because the staff are always cool to be around, and there are always new, fun people to meet. I love the rehearsals that we have for the big show on Friday, and for the gypsy showcase. The thing I like most about the camp is performing on Friday. I think it is really fun because I get nervous and when I finish the show I love how I feel. The gypsy showcase is one of my favorite things to do because it’s like a chance for us to choose our plays and goof around with them. The plays that we got this year were The Lion King and Bye Bye Birdie. So basically what we do is mix them into one short two and a half minute long play. We can change the lyrics to the songs and act anything we want (as long as it goes with at least one of the stories). What we do is rehearse all week and perform that on Friday as well. Friday was also the day that my group and the Nederlanders performed My Fair Lady. And the Jujamcyns and Schubert’s performed Oliver. The shows are really fun to do, and the camp is just a blast. It’s an easy way for you to do something for the first week of summer. Every year I meet new people. And it seems to get more fun just because of my environment there. I love it! Jaylen Hall.

Camper Describes Week at Camp Broadway

Blog post written by  Camper Alex Trumble,15

Camp Broadway is the experience of a lifetime. You learn so much in such a short time!

Day one is very simple:

We met the instructors and fellow campers. 

Day two:

We started to learn the songs you will perform on Friday and assigned dance steps. 

Day three:

We started to work in small groups on your Gypsy Showcase which is when campers get a chance to create their own stories by “mashing up” two musicals (one classic and one modern show) chosen at random.   The evening of day three is when we watched the performance of Million Dollar Quartet, which had us dancing in our seats. 

Day four:

We put the dancing and signing together and lines are assigned.  Lunch was with the Million Dollar Quartet cast and crew.  We asked them questions, took photos with them and got their autographs.  It was great to meet them after watching the show the night before.  After lunch we got to tour the different parts of Gammage including the backstage area. 

Day five:

The last day was very exciting!  The show was rehearsed with all the parts put together on the big stage.  Late in the afternoon the families arrived for the performance, and we performed our pieces for them. This gives the campers the experience of performing in front of an audience, and teaches us that no matters what happens the show must go on.   As someone who wants to have a career on stage I have learned so many useful things that will take me far and met some lasting friends
