The Count Basie Theatre Performing Arts Academy is home to the region’s most popular and comprehensive music performance programs!

ROCKIT! ACADEMY SUMMER BAND CAMPThe Rockit! Academy, our resident rock and roll performance program, is helmed by the nonpro�t Rockit! Live Foundation. Rockit’s summer band camp session explores the dynamics of playing in a live band, participating in a disciplined regimen on how to audition and perform with con�dence by forming their own bands and choosing their own songs. In the process, students learn about improvisation, music theory, and the history of rock and roll. Students will receive a copy of their work at the culmination of the camp.

BROADWAY FOR KIDS | SATURDAY, JULY 14Be the star! Here’s a perfect workshop for kids to express themselves as they transform into their favorite Broadway musical character. All fans have a favorite song, a scene or one liner that de�nes their passion for musical theater – here’s the spot to share that joy with fellow young enthusiasts.

11:30AM -1PM AGES: 6-8 • $40 INSTRUCTOR:SHERRI EHRLICH

HOW FAR YOU’LL GO! | SATURDAY, JULY 28This workshop uses the lessons learned from Disney’s Moana as the basis for creative theater activities. The importance of family, relationships and standing up for your beliefs will be the underlying theme of the class. Songs, theater games, visual arts activities and dancing will all be incorporated in this creative adventure.

11:30AM -1PM AGES: 6-8 • $40 INSTRUCTOR: SHERRI EHRLICH

SPOONFUL OF SUGAR | SATURDAY, AUGUST 4The lessons learned from Mary Poppins are certainly bene�cial to youngsters! Those silly lyrics and boisterous dances are life lessons in disguise, such as choosing friends wisely, caring for those less fortunate, adding elements of fun to everything you do… and sharing what you know! Theater games, singing, visual arts activities and movement will all be included in this whimsical Saturday morning experience.

11:30AM -1PM AGES: 4-6 • $40 INSTRUCTOR:SHERRI EHRLICH

LET IT GO… AND BE YOURSELF! | SATURDAY, AUGUST 11 The underlying messages in Disney’s Frozen lay the groundwork for this workshop. Kids will be reminded that nothing’s impossible, melting for a friend in need is sometimes worth it, and no amount of worrying can change the past. Your child will explore the music and characters of the popular tale as they reenact their favorite scenes and sing those wonderful melodic tunes.


RHYTHM, SONG AND DANCE | SATURDAY, AUGUST 18Using a variety of percussion instruments, pop tunes, and groovin’ moves, this workshop focuses on the rhythms all around us and how they can be transformative! A great way to get those creative energies �owing and have a great deal of fun with new found friends.

All fans have a favorite song, a scene or one liner that de�nes their passion for musical theater – here’s the spot to share that joy with fellow young enthusiasts.


HOW FAR YOU’LL GO! | SATURDAY, JULY 28This workshop uses the lessons learned from Disney’s Moana as the basis for creative theater activities. The importance of family, relationships and standing up for your beliefs will be the underlying theme of the class. Songs, theater games, visual arts activities and dancing will all be incorporated in this creative adventure.


SPOONFUL OF SUGAR | SATURDAY, AUGUST 4The lessons learned from Mary Poppins are certainly bene�cial to youngsters!

Theater games, singing, visual arts activities and movement will all be included in this whimsical Saturday morning experience.


LET IT GO… AND BE YOURSELF! | SATURDAY, AUGUST 11 The underlying messages in Disney’s Frozen lay the groundwork for this workshop. Kids will be reminded that nothing’s impossible, melting for a friend in need is sometimes worth it, and no amount of worrying can change the past. Your child will explore the music and characters of the popular tale as they reenact their favorite scenes and sing those wonderful melodic tunes.


RHYTHM, SONG AND DANCE | SATURDAY, AUGUST 18Using a variety of percussion instruments, pop tunes, and groovin’ moves, this workshop focuses on the rhythms all around us and how they can be transformative! A great way to get those creative energies �owing and have a great deal of fun with new found friends.
