Goodspeed Musicals

For the first time ever, Goodspeed is launching a summer program for kids! SummerSong is a weeklong performance-based program culminating in a showcase of Annie Jr. at Goodspeed's Terris Theatre in Chester.

Designed for youth ages 9 to 14, Goodspeed SummerSong is taught by Goodspeed Musicals’ highly-regarded professional staff. Each day will be filled with classes focused on singing, dancing and acting skills as the students prepare for an end-of-the-week showcase of Annie Jr. for family and friends. Throughout the program, artisans and other experts from the Goodspeed staff will provide opportunities for students to learn about what happens behind the scenes to bring a musical to life. The closing showcase of Annie Jr. will be directed by Goodspeed’s Associate Artistic Director Michael Fling.

SummerSong is perfect for rising stars of all experience levels and abilities.
