Perry-Mansfield Performing Arts School and Camp has unveiled its summer performance schedule.
The faculty and its students are prepared to captivate audiences with a series of live performances showcasing various genres of dance and musical theatre, and tickets are now available for purchase.
The summer season will commence on Saturday with a performance by guest artist Peter Chu, presented by Chuthis. This event will showcase Chu’s choreography and set the stage for a lineup of performances this summer.
Limited seating is available. Visit Perry-Mansfields.org for tickets and information.
On Sunday, there will be with a Professional Dance Showcase at 8 p.m. in which attendees will witness the choreography and performances by guest artists, Flockworks, Chuthis, Co-Director of dance Chris Compton and 29 students.
On June 18, the faculty and counselors will delight audiences with “Very Vaudeville!” — a tribute to the timeless variety show format, complete with dance, comedy and music.
“Under the Stars” will be on June 27 at Perry-Mansfield at night, under the starlit night.
Additionally, Perry-Mansfield’s emerging artists will take the stage at 10 a.m. on July 1 during their Showcase, followed by an open house. This event highlights blossoming students in the program.
On July 8, the Pre-Professional Student Creations will showcase the artistic creations, and on July 14 and 15, the Pre-Professional students will present an Evening of Dance with a display of technical prowess and passion.
The summer schedule also features the anticipated Pre-Professional Musical production of “Cabaret!” on July 21 and 22.
Held in the historic Julie Harris Theater, this rendition of the classic musical will transport the audience into a world of timeless entertainment. The musical was selected because Julie Harris won her first Tony Award for playing the character Sally Bowles in the show “I Am A Camera,” on which Cabaret was later inspired. This will be the first Perry-Mansfield Pre-Professional Show in the renovated theatre.
The Young Artist Evening of Dance & Musical on July 28 and 29 will showcase the inspiring talents of 12 to 15-year-olds in the camp, presenting a mix of theatre and dance performances. The theatre students will present “Matilda Jr.,” while the dance students will showcase various faculty-choreographed pieces.
Perry-Mansfield’s summer season will conclude Aug. 13, as the campus hosts a dance showcase featuring guest artists from the Jose Limon Dance Foundation.
All performances will take place on the campus at 40755 County Road 36 in Steamboat Springs.
