Above: Charlotte d’Amboise, Tony Award-nominated star of the revival of “A Chorus Line” on Broadway, leads a group of high school and college students from across the Southeast during a dance class as part of the inaugural “Broadway in the Mountains” summer camp at Western Carolina University.
The intensive, weeklong performing arts workshop for high school and college students ages 16 to 22 interested in learning the art and craft of musical theatre performance concludes Sunday, Aug. 5, with a free 2 p.m. public performance in Western’s Fine and Performing Arts Center.
Students have been learning all aspects of musical theatre performance – audition techniques, song interpretation, scene study, dance techniques and acting – during the camp, led by d’Amboise’s husband Terrence Mann, the Tony Award-nominated Broadway performer who now holds WCU’s Phillips Distinguished Professorship in Musical Theatre.
