As our Musical Theater Intensive Camp nears its show day, Day 4 was all about preparation and building confidence before tomorrow’s performance!
We were so excited to welcome Anna Ferrigno-Orland, a proud CCC alumna, who returned to share her personal journey in musical theater with our campers. Anna spoke about her experiences on and off the stage, offering advice and insight into the world of theater. Her words reminded students that working hard can open many doors. We are incredibly grateful for the time she spent investing in our young performers and inspiring the next generation of CCC.
The excitement continued as campers completed their first full run-through of the show! Performing the entire production from beginning to end gave everyone a chance to put together everything they’ve learned throughout the week.
