Upstage Arts Students will create their own musical production, based on the acronym LOL, Comedian Rob Nash, of Austin, Texas, will direct LOL: The Musical.
Youth will be given the title for their production - LOL: The Musical - and then they’ll create the show from beginning to end with guidance from facilitators.
This new camp is an intensive opportunity to explore writing, performance and everything in-between in the production process.
This summer theatrical experience will be an invaluable opportunity for teenagers to create a unique piece of musical theater from start to finish, as a team. They will work together through the writing, set design, performance and all aspects of theater.”
Nash has performed his unique solo theater and standup comedy worldwide, from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to off-Broadway in New York to the Montreal Comedy Arts Festival to Atlantis Cruise Lines. He also has been featured on Comedy Central, VH1 and Q Television. Nash performed his Holy Cross Sucks! in 2005, enjoying 14 rave reviews, including The New York Times, and won a place in the Top 10 Broadway and off-Broadway shows of 2005 by Time Out New York magazine. In Tampa’s Shimberg Playhouse at the Straz Center, he performed his own one-man shows 12 Steps to a More Dysfunctional You and Freshman Year S*#cks.
Currently residing in Houston, Texas, Nash divides his time between touring, writing and teaching improv, sketch, standup comedy and character work at New York University’s CAP 21 Studio and the Patel Conservatory.
