Hello all, 

I am hosting a Theatre Camp for my school this summer for the first time. It is a Monday-Thursday camp for 5th - 8th graders, all girls, for three hours each day. We would like to do a short ten-minute medley type performance from a musical, teaching them the music and choreography during the first three and a half days culminating in a free showcase of the short number for parents, etc. I am assuming others have done this before and might have advice? How did you go about licensing the material? Any other tips and tools you have to share would be most appreciated. Thank you so much!

Hey, Sarah! MTI has some 10 minute musical collections and you can license some of them individually.

Over Covid, we did "The Greatest 10 Minute Musical Ever Written" and it was silly but fun. Lot's of places to let kids shine, but not too much to do in the time you have available. 

Good luck!!
