Polestar Musical Theatre Summer Camps 2026

  Musical Theatre Banner

This summer, Encinitas Country Day School and the Polestar Foundation are excited to offer a weekly Musical Theatre Workshop to students from the ages of 7-13 years of age. Students will be given the tools to build confidence on stage and off as they hone their musical theatre skills.

Polestar's fun, summer workshop-based structure promotes self-expression, critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork.

Each child will get to study many aspects of theatre arts, develop valuable life skills, and produce quality performances!

Voice & Movement

Know your voice — it's strong, it's sensitive, it's resilient, and it's you! Students will learn to strengthen and condition their voices, unlocking the true power and range of their instruments. Students will learn repeatable vocal warm-ups to help prepare for performances of all kinds, such as auditions and/or classroom presentations as well as day-to-day speaking skills.

Drama/Musical Theatre

Polestar members will learn the actors' process of creating three-dimensional characters and truthful actions for the stage. Classes utilize theater games, guided improvisation activities, and scene work to develop characterization and script analysis skills. Classes culminate in a sharing of scenes based on several songs from a variety of musicals.

Musical Theatre Dance

Musical Theatre Dance class will focus on learning various dance styles used in Broadway shows. Class includes a proper warm-up, stretches, isolations, across-the-floor progressions, and combinations. Emphasis will also be placed on learning performance skills such as connecting with the audience and telling a story through dance and facial expressions.
