The McGuigan Arts Academy is an extraordinary space to create boldly!
WEEK-LONG RESIDENCY
Residencies are set up much like a typical school day with students moving between Theatre, Art and Music classes taught by professional teaching artists. Programs are customized based on students age and skill level.
Below is an example of how each day is structured in their week-long residencies:
SUMMER ARTS LAB
9am - 10:30am I WANNA ROCK (Music-based class)
10:30am - 12pm ROCK, DESIGN, REPEAT (Art-based class)
12pm - 1pm LUNCH BREAK
1pm - 4pm THEATRE OF COMEDY (Theatre-based class)
ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE
9am - 10:30am WHAT’S A CHORUS LINE (Dance-based class)
10:30am - 12pm CHARACTER PORTRAITS (Art-based class)
12pm - 1pm LUNCH BREAK
1pm - 4pm CREATING A MINI-MUSICAL REVUE (Musical Theatre-based class)
Camps can be customized to fit any time frame and age group.

OUTREACH CLASSES
Outreach classes run 45 - 60 minutes and is an add-on to any show booked for your performing arts series. Outreach classes can take place in the venue the day of the public performance or off-site the day prior or day of the show, based on availability.
Outreach programs include topics like:
Introduction to Instruments (Elementary)
Who Are The Beatles (All Ages)
The British Are Coming (All Ages)
A Career in the Arts (Middle/High School/College)
History of Rock and Roll (All Ages)
Our outreach programs have reached small groups in a public library, seniors in a retirement home (video below) and entire school systems at a performing arts venue prior to an evening public show (pictured here).
