Senior intensive VOICE & PERFORMANCE PROGRAM
An Immersive Performance Experience for
Emerging Music Theatre Artists
July 27-August 9, 2026
The Senior Intensive is not just a workshop — it’s a fully immersive program that mirrors the pace, demands, and exhilaration of a professional rehearsal and production process. Designed for serious singer/actors ages 14–24, this two-week program challenges young artists to refine their skills, discover new depths in their performance, and experience the full arc of bringing a production to life.
Participants work side by side with experienced theatre professionals, gaining mentorship in vocal technique, acting, movement, stagecraft, and the rehearsal-to-performance journey. From the first day of rehearsal to the final curtain call, every step of the process is approached with the same professionalism and artistic integrity that drives Canada’s top stages.
Since 2002, The Singer’s Theatre has been a launching ground for talent. Alumni have continued on to professional careers with world-renowned companies including The Stratford Festival, The Charlottetown Festival, Broadway, and national tours. Others carry their training into lifelong community involvement, inspired by the artistry and standards instilled during their time here.
Room and board are available for out-of-town participants cast in the production, ensuring access for artists across Ontario and beyond. All rehearsals and performances take place in Kitchener, Ontario.
There is truly nothing like The Singer’s Theatre. Our intensive offers an unparalleled combination of opportunity, mentorship, and performance calibre. For emerging artists serious about music theatre, this is where passion meets professionalism — and where the next generation of performers begins their journey.
“What an amazing program you have created! My first reaction to the show yesterday was the incredible emphasis on the voices. The name of your company says it all - it is truly a place where the singer comes first - it is the “singer’s theatre”. And yet, the acting was also superb! Congratulations on a wonderful show and teaching all these amazingly talented young people how it’s done!!!”
PAST SENIOR INTENSIVES
“We have never seen a show of that calibre with youth performers. You and your team are clearly brilliant leaders. I am a newly retired principal and I know great leading and teaching when I see it!
This has been a life changing experience for (our son) and our family. He learned so much. He kept saying how professional it was, how amazing the other kids were and how he was just so grateful to just be in your/their presence. In so many ways, he was able to learn a new and best version of himself.”
