MIPAC | NEW MUSICAL WORKSHOP
In MiPAC’s unique NEW MUSICAL WORKSHOP, campers create a brand-new, one-act musical in just two weeks.
You heard rightly.
Camp founders Keisuke Hoashi and Tim Martuch themselves teach the campers how to WRITE THEIR OWN SHOW. Script, music, lyrics, everything. Along the way, campers learn extraordinarily valuable lessons about collaboration, compromise, and teamwork, as they battle the ticking clock to the biweekly staged reading of their new musical.
The workshop is open to ALL campers.
