**For Immediate Release** Registration for Broadway at Panhandle Underway -released by OPSU Campus Communications 05/30/06 Goodwell, Okla.- The Oklahoma Panhandle State University music department will  host Broadway at Panhandle, a music theatre camp for children ages 12-18, June 3-10, and registrations will be accepted through June 1. Students participating in the camp will audition for roles, rehearse, and perform a fully mounted musical production. This year’s show is Stephen Flaherty’s “Once on This Island,” a theatrical Caribbean adaptation of the fairy tale “The Little Mermaid.” The total cost for the camp is $325, which includes meals, lodging, instruction, production materials, a camp t-shirt, and two tickets to the production. Campers stay on the OPSU campus for the week . Need-based scholarships are available in some cases. A $75 deposit is required at the time of registration. During the camp, middle school and high school students with an interest in music theatre production and performance will develop the skills necessary to mount a full-scale production in a limited amount of time. Campers spend the day in vocal, dance, acting, or backstage rehearsals to learn and perform their roles confidently. Students also have the opportunity to learn about set construction, lighting design and management, and other technical aspects of a production. Broadway at Panhandle is sponsored in part by a generous donation from the Oklahoma Arts Council.
