Youth Theatre Winterim

SMYT Winterim 2025: Broadway Bound is an after-school theatre program designed for students aged 8-18, from those who have no prior experience to those who want to hone their existing skills. Student actors will audition for roles and learn a medley of songs and excerpts from some of Broadway's greatest shows. All sessions take place in PAC unless noted.

PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED and limited to 50 participants.

Broadway Bound practice music if you want to get a jump on learning prior to start.

General Guidelines for all participants

Use door 9 for drop off and pick up. This is the main entrance from the large parking lot on the NW corner of campus. It will be open 15 minutes prior to rehearsal start time. Do not drop students off more than 15 minutes before their rehearsal time. Please pick up students promptly. Parents/guardians may sit in the PAC lobby during rehearsals, but we ask that you do not sit inside the theatre. Students should wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Temperature can fluctuate in the theatre, so bring a sweater/light jacket. Costumes are not required for the mini performance on Friday. However, students should wear solid-colored clothing. Students should stay home if they have cold or flu-like symptoms, tested positive for COVID-19 or think they may have been exposed to someone with COVID-19.
