Theatre Denton Theatre School

Join us as we create theatre magic! From auditions to rehearsal to construction to production, we do it all in 5 weeks ending with a full length musical completely produced by our campers, both actors and technicians. Our goal is a theatre family who work together to bring our musical to life!

This summer we'll produce 'ALL SHOOK UP' inspired by and featuring the music of Elvis Presley, book by Joe DiPietro. Teen Summer Camp produces a full length musical from casting to design to choreography to music to production in just 5 weeks! Ages 13-18 (entering 7th grade through exiting seniors) are welcome to join us. Classes are Monday - Friday (we start Tuesday, May28th) from 10am-3pm, with productions June 28th - 29th at 7:30pm and June 30th at 2pm.

It’s 1955, and into a square little town in a square little state rides a guitar-playing young man who changes everything and everyone he meets. Loosely based on Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, this hip-swiveling, lip-curling musical fantasy will have you jumpin’ out of your blue suede shoes with such classics as “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Hound Dog,” “Jailhouse Rock,” and “Don’t Be Cruel.”

Classes begin Tuesday, May 28th at 10am at the Denton Theatre Annex in Golden Triangle Mall. We begin with the audition and read through process on Day 1 and spend the first week focusing on the amazing history of the show itself, it's based on Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare, the history of Rock'n'Roll and the world while Elvis Presley came into his fame. From there we start choreography and music and our technicians begin the design process.

On Monday June 17th we move into the Campus Theatre located off the square in downtown Denton. All performances will be on the Campus stage; June 28th - June 30th, with strike happening immediately following our last production on June 30th.
