SUMMER
PRODUCTION 2024
REGISTRATION IS OPEN!
Legally Blonde
A fabulously fun international award-winning musical based on the adored movie. Legally Blonde the Musical follows the transformation of Elle Woods as she tackles stereotypes, snobbery, and scandal in pursuit of her dreams. This action-packed musical explodes on the stage with memorable songs and dynamic dances. Equal parts hilarious and heart-warming, this musical is so much fun -- it should be illegal!
"Ridiculously enjoyable from start to finish."
-The Independent
​
"Musical theatre at its best - great songs, witty lines. Smart, sassy, spectacular."
-The Daily Telegraph
​
"[A] high-energy […] hymn to the glories of girlishness."
-The New York Times
Ages 8-17 (2 CASTS)
(7 year olds will be considered on a case-by-case basis!)

ABOUT THE AVAILABLE ROLES, CHARACTER BREAKDOWNS, AND EVERYTHING ELSE LEGALLY BLONDE,
PREPARING FOR
YOUR AUDITION
1. Singing
You will be singing a capella for our Director, Producer and Musical Director. Pick any song from the show that you feel suits you.
During rehearsals you will be working one-on-one with our musical director to finesse and develop your vocal technique.
2. Dance/Movement
All levels and abilities are considered. We may ask to see some dance steps at your audition (we will teach you these steps in advance).
3. Acting
We will send you sides from the script to study. Familiarize yourself with the show and the characters in the show... pay attention to their distinct personalities and character traits. We will give you lots of pointers to get prepared!
​
In rehearsals you will receive plenty of coaching on your acting and insight in to how to become stronger at the craft of acting and build on your technique.
CAMP DETAILS
Q: What sets ACT-1's summer camp experience apart from other theatre camps?
A: Our camps are longer than the average theatre summer camp, allowing our students to explore their artistry more deeply. And because of this extended rehearsal period, we are more likely to be able to work with and around your other vacation plans! More info about that, below!
A longer rehearsal period means a stronger and tighter quality production.
It provides our students with ample time to build a character instead of just playing a role.
They don't merely learn choreography and songs but actually improve their movement technique and singing skills. As a result, your child will grow leaps and bounds in their self-esteem through a transformative session with ACT-1.
On a social level, it also gives our students more time to make connections and deepen their friendships within our theatre community. It is an unforgettable growth experience and a chance to make lasting and meaningful connections with other artists. Especially after the last couple of years, this is such an important and cherished part of production.
And our staff loves that we get the chance to get to know our students more personally!
With the extended camp hours, we have extra time during the camp day for recreation, instead of just working towards a finished product. We have downtime, playing theatre games, and partaking in interesting workshops with visiting guest artists.
Many of our students tell us, "This was the best summer of my life!"
