Inter Week Begins...

Each summer, WTT hosts our annual Summer Musical Theatre Camp - which begins today!

Over the next four weeks, we will have approximately 80 students, teachers, designers and interns learning about what it takes to mount a full production of School House Rock, Live!

We've asked Patrick Pevehouse, a former inter and the camp's current Texas Comission on the Arts Administrative Apprentice to keep up updated on all the camp happenings! Patrick writes: "Intern Week has started! Each summer, WaterTower holds an educational summer musical theatre camp for kids and teens ages 9-18. The camp includes a small, select group of older performance and production interns. These interns range from ages 15-18, and they start work at WaterTower a full week before the camp's starting date. This week consists of the usual: preparation for the campers, training, and tying up all the loose ends before the campers start classes on Monday. However, intern week is especially beneficial for the interns because of everything they learn that week. The interns go through several challenging master classes each day that increase and push their knowledge and passion for their craft. Jennifer Green, an acclaimed actress in DFW, works with the performance interns on different acting methods to explore. Paula Morelan, one of the top choreographers in the area, comes in to give the performance interns a mock dance audition. The production interns work with some of the best designers in town including Paul Arebalo, Clare DeVries, and Ashley Willeby to create a design for the camp show, School House Rock Live! The purpose of Intern Week is not only to prepare for the camp and learn about their craft, but also to learn about each other and form a bond as a strong ensemble. Intern week is often described by the interns as their favorite week. "
