An open casting call for students currently in grades 8-12 will take place now through February 28, via video audition submissions for the ninth annual Kristin Chenoweth Broadway Boot Camp, to be held in person at the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma. This year Ms. Chenoweth and her team of A-list Broadway professionals will collaborate with the students, offering insight into the world of performing arts for aspiring entertainers.
“Last year auditions from all over the world poured in from incredible students who are looking to expand their performing arts talents with some of the most renowned theatrical experts from across the nation,” said Kim Vento, director of the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center. “Each year, the camp just gets bigger and better, and this year will be no exception. I encourage anyone who has a heart for musical theatre to apply.”
Auditions must be submitted through the virtual application link by 5:00 PM CST on February 28, 2025. Students who are currently in grades 8-12 (2024-2025 school year) are eligible to audition. A limited number of slots are available and the cost to attend the camp is $1150. Students must prepare 2 one-minute vocal musical theatre pieces, a dance combination, as well as a one-minute dramatic monologue for the audition. A performance resume and headshot are also required.
"Ms. Chenoweth has a heart for arts in education, as cemented with the formation of the Kristin Chenoweth Arts & Education Fund,” said Vento, Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center director. “For this camp, we will create a unique opportunity for many high school students to further their creative arts aspirations with these amazing industry professionals.”
Camp will take place July 16-26, 2025, at the Broken Arrow Performing Arts Center. During the camp, students will participate in a variety of hands-on activities including acting, dance, staging, singing and will experience incredible team-building opportunities. The week will end with an amazing student-faculty performance called the Kristi Awards.
“I just can’t wait to announce who will be directing our camp, as well as our faculty and some exciting surprises in store for all campers this year,” said Chenoweth. “My most important mission in this life is to inspire--always inspire. And I can promise you that is what we are going to do once again at camp this summer. We are going to inspire ourselves, inspire each other, and inspire others to be better.”
Last year’s camp saw students from four countries and 23 states, learning all about musical theatre while interacting with Broadway professionals powerful small group sessions.
