This summer, Arts Alive! will offer two specialized Musical Theatre Intensives designed for dedicated teen performers looking to strengthen their audition skills, improve performance technique, and gain a competitive edge for lead roles, college auditions, and major musical theatre opportunities.

Programs will be held at Arts Alive! at St. John's Episcopal Church Hall in Barrington, RI, and are open to teen performers from communities throughout Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.

Because enrollment is limited, early registration is strongly encouraged.
