The Clock Is Ticking.
Make Time for The Clockmaker’s Daughter.
AUGUST 7-9, 2026
THE CONRAD CENTRE FOR THE PERFORMING ARTS
Time is moving quickly. Performances begin August 7, and The Singer’s Theatre invites you to discover one of musical theatre’s most beautiful hidden treasures, brought to life by the breathtaking voices of our 2026 Senior Intensive Company.
In the village of Spindlewood, master clockmaker Abraham Reed is consumed by grief following the death of his daughter. Determined to preserve her memory, he creates Constance—a young woman made of clockwork who can think, feel and dream. Abraham gives her one rule: she must remain hidden from the outside world. But Constance longs to experience life beyond the walls of his home, and when she finally steps into the village, her arrival changes Spindlewood—and the course of her own life—forever.
Featuring an extraordinary score by Michael Webborn and Daniel Finn, The Clockmaker’s Daughter is a sweeping folk fairytale about love, loss, courage, community and the need to belong. Its rich characters, soaring music and deeply human story combine to create a musical of remarkable beauty and emotional depth.
It may not be a title everyone knows, but it is a story audiences will remember long after the final note. Opening night is drawing closer, and there is no time like now to experience The Clockmaker’s Daughter.
The clock is ticking. Make time for something extraordinary.

Intensive Program
Immersive Musical Theatre Training for Serious Young Performers
The Singer’s Theatre Senior Intensive is a focused musical theatre training and performance program for serious singer/actors ages 14–24.
Designed for emerging performers who are ready to work at a higher level, this program combines vocal training, acting, movement, rehearsal discipline, ensemble work, and full production experience in a supportive but challenging environment.
Participants work with experienced theatre professionals while developing the skills, confidence, and artistic maturity needed to grow as music theatre performers.
Who This Program Is For
The Senior Intensive is best suited for performers with previous experience in singing, acting, dance, or musical theatre.
Participants should be comfortable learning music, taking direction, working collaboratively, and performing in front of an audience. This program is ideal for young artists who are ready to be challenged and who want to deepen their understanding of the rehearsal and performance process.
Age range: 14–24
Experience level: Previous performance experience is recommended
Program focus: Singing, acting, movement, ensemble work, rehearsal discipline, and production
What Participants Can Expect
The Senior Intensive gives participants the opportunity to experience the full journey of bringing a musical theatre production to life.
Throughout the 2 week program, participants will build their skills in vocal performance, character development, acting through song, movement, stage presence, and ensemble storytelling. The process is designed to encourage artistic growth while also introducing the pace, focus, and expectations of a professional rehearsal room.
This is a demanding program, but it is also a place for mentorship, discovery, confidence-building, and meaningful creative work.
Performance Opportunity
The Senior Intensive culminates in a fully staged musical theatre production presented for an audience in a real theatre under professional performance conditions.
Participants gain valuable experience not only as performers, but as part of a larger ensemble working together toward a shared artistic goal.
Program Expectations
Participants are expected to arrive prepared, focused, and ready to commit fully to the rehearsal and performance process.
This includes learning material, attending rehearsals, taking direction, supporting fellow cast members, respecting the rehearsal space, and approaching the work with professionalism and curiosity.
