The Moorestown Theater Company (MTC) is very excited to be back on Main Street in Moorestown at 5 W. Main Street, the site of the former Signature Design gift shop. MTC is also pleased to be holding three two-week, in-person Summer Stage ’20 Sessions at this new Performing Arts Studio (along with our six one-week, on-line Summer Stage ’20 Sessions on Zoom).
The three, two-week in-person sessions will be for students between the ages of 10 to 18 and will run Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in our new Performing Arts Studio on Main Street. There will be a performance of that session’s musical recorded on the final day of each session, which will be streamed online shortly thereafter. These two-week sessions will include these shows on these dates: Session I: “The Big One-Oh!” on July 6 to July 10 and July 13 to July 17; Session II: “Legally Blonde, Jr.” on July 20 to July 24 and July 27 to July 31 and Session III: “Dear Edwina, Jr.”from on Aug. 3 to Aug. 7 and Aug. 10 to Aug. 14. The weekly Summer Stage ’20 in-person rate is $325 per child.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, MTC will host these two-week sessions in a socially-distant setting. As the health of our campers and our staff members is so important to us, we’ll follow these guidelines from the Governor’s Office:
- Our new Performing Arts Studio has been professionally sanitized before Summer Stage ’20 started.
- The Performing Arts Studio will be cleaned and sanitized before each new camp day.
- Staff members’ and campers’ temperatures will be taken as they enter MTC’s Performing Arts Studio.
- Staff members and campers will wear face masks or face shields at camp each day.
- Staff members and campers will be encouraged to wash their hands and use hand sanitizer often.
- Our bathroom will be sanitized by staff members between every use by staff members and campers.
- Staff members and campers will rehearse six feet apart from each other.
The six one-week online sessions will be for students between the ages of 6 to 12 and will run five days a week from 10 a.m. to noon and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Zoom. These one-week sessions will include classes in various theater arts such as acting, dance, improv and music, among others. The weekly Summer Stage ’20 on-line rate is $200 per child.
This is not how we wanted to do our 15th Season of Summer Stage, our award-winning musical theater camp, but to follow the theater mantra, “The Show Must Go On,” the Moorestown Theater Company is adapting. MTC will be adding more in-person Musical Theater Classes in our new Performing Arts Studio. MTC will also be presenting its first Rising Stage production, for ‘Rising Seniors’ to 29-year-olds, sometime in August.
