Musical Theatre Camp - Matilda the Musical

Camps | This class is completed

Sometimes, Revolting Children are just what the world needs! Let’s celebrate children, our miracles of life, in Matilda the Musical! Using songs like 'Revolting Children,' 'When I Grow Up,' and 'Miracle,' we’ll explore what it means to stand up for yourself and others. Explore the exciting world of musical theatre with singing, dancing, acting! Come play theatre games, do some set/costume design, and be a little bit Naughty. Perfect for students who like singing and dancing, and for students who loved watching kids take on the grown-ups in Matilda the Musical! Dancers and artists share their creativity with family in an informal presentation on the last day of camp.

  • Clothing: Dress for comfort and ease of movement. Dance clothes such as leotards, footless tights, sweatpants/shorts, leggings, t-shirts, dance skirts, etc. Students dance in bare feet.

  • Want to extend your camp day? Campers age 9 and 10 can join Dance & Drama Camp 1:00pm-3:30pm Aug 14-18 for a full day of fun! Register for Dance & Drama Camp on our website and use Coupon Code SummerFun2023 to receive a $40 discount on the second camp (coupon only eligible when combining camps in the same week for the same student).

Carly Squires Hutchison (she/her) is honored to be a part of the Creative Dance Center summer team since 2017! She holds a BFA in Musical Theatre and Minor in Dance Performance from Central Washington University. A musical theatre performer herself, Carly is a passionate teaching artist, director, and choreographer. She has taught dance and musical theatre with The Evergreen School, Seattle Children’s Theatre, Village Theatre, Foundry10, Backstage Dance Studio, Spectrum Dance Theatre, and Central Washington University (CWU). Carly has directed and/or choreographed with The Evergreen School, Village Theatre’s KIDSTAGE, Drama School at Seattle Children’s Theatre, Issaquah Middle School through Youth Theatre Northwest, and Everett, Blanchet, Newport, Liberty, and Auburn Riverside high schools. Additionally, Carly has performed locally with Village Theatre, StoryBook Theater, Seattle Children’s Theatre, Taproot Theatre, Seattle Musical Theatre, Wooden O (Seattle Shakespeare), and SecondStory Repertory. Carly brings a buoyant and positive attitude to her teaching and loves seeing her students grow in their technical abilities as well as their life skills learned through the arts. She says, “The arts are a way to connect communities and get to know people from all different walks of life. While learning songs and dances we are learning to work together, take turns, speak kindly towards ourselves and others, and have fun while trying something new. Sometimes trying new things can be scary, but if you’re in a supportive environment it can be invigorating, and that’s my goal for camp!” Carly attended CDC’s Summer Dance Institute for Teachers, training in Brain-Compatible Dance Education, in 2018.
