Middle School Intensive

If musical theatre is your passion, look no further for Long Island’s premier intensive training program. Our professional Teaching Artists have worked on Broadway and in Long Island’s most reputable regional, college, and community theaters and look forward to sharing their passion for this craft with you! From casting to the final curtain call, a full
production will be learned in only 10 days! 

Past productions have included a fully staged production of GODSPELL JR, and choral medleys from DEAR EVAN HANSEN, HAMILTON, and SHREK. In addition to casting, staging, choreographing, and performing this musical in only ten days, students will receive invaluable training in voice, dance, acting, and audition technique. They will also get to attend a masterclass with a Broadway guest artist.

All students will thrive in this program – both curious new performers, and accomplished young professionals will find a safe environment for risk-taking and learning!

LIMTF’S SUMMER 2023 MIDDLE SCHOOL PRODUCTION

Conceived and Developed by
David De Silva

Book by
José Fernandez

Lyrics by
Jacques Levy

Music by
Steve Margoshes

Following the international acclaim of the hit motion picture, television series and stage show, Fame The Musical JR. is nothing short of a global phenomenon.  Fame JR. features a high-energy, contemporary pop score (which includes the hit title song) and a touching coming-of-age story.

Set during the last years of New York City's celebrated High School for the Performing Arts in the early 1980s, Fame JR. is the bittersweet, but ultimately inspiring, story of a diverse group of students who commit to four years of grueling artistic and academic work. With candor, humor and insight, the show explores the issues that confront many young people today.
