Since 1999, Allegra has been an integral part of the arts community in Somerset County. Our summer theater camp program graduates have been cast throughout the community in their middle, high school, and community theater programs, and have gone on to college-level theater and music programs.  We hope the skills you gain from our theater programs are life-skills that include a great sense of confidence, the ability to think on your feet, a willingness to stretch yourself out of your comfort zone, and and a great love of theater that will last a lifetime! Allegra Summer Theater gives creative young actors off all levels of experience from fundamental to  advanced training in theater performance.

"Allegra performers learn by doing. No one is left in the background."

Allegra performers:

• Work with professional staff who excel in their area of expertise. Teen Premier campers may  also attend workshops provided by working broadway performers.
• Learn a basic knowledge of the “singer’s breath.”  Daily exercises and warm-ups will be held in strengthening the muscles used in singing.
• Are given daily acting games and exercises to explore the world of acting.  They work on facial and body expressions and communication with other actors.  Actors study acting techniques in-depth, exploring monologues, dialogues, and partner scenes. 

• Work with a professional accompanist.  They learn correct rhythms particular to the songs they are performing and learn how to “dissect” a song. 

• Work with a professional choreographer for all of the dance and group scenes.  Focus is on strong movements particular to theater dancing.

• Learn how to properly analyze and “become” the characters they have been given in the show.  They keep diary entries for their character, have individual character sessions with an acting coach, and do partner sessions “in character.”

• Have individual voice lessons with a private instructor.  They focus on proper phrasing  in their pieces, and learn    basic classical vocal controls and optimizations.

• Gain beginner through advanced level skills in acting, vocal technique, choreography, and stagecraft.
