Summer Jazz Program in Weston at the River School is for
students of all ages and experience who want to learn more about
jazz. This program is more like taking classes than like a camp in
that you sign up for the classes/lessons that interest you and show
up at the school at the appropriate time. Many of our students have
done this great summer program - I highly recommend it! See me for a
brochure or contact the school.

non-profit organization whose purpose is to develop an interest in
and foster an appreciation of the performing arts. Young people
gather for five or six intense weeks in July to mount a variety of
shows, from large cast musicals to intimate plays for a dozen
actors, whether in the productions themselves or helping in the
technical crew. Middle school students participate in a Morning
Program that runs from 9 AM to 1 PM. Students of high school and
college age rehearse in the evening hours. All students interested
in the technical production aspects of a show can become involved in
our Tech Program. |
