Watertown Lyric Theater has reinstated a program for participants in their teens and 20s that it hasn’t offered in several years. Its goal is to enrich the lives of youth by creating a positive environment to experience live theater, stimulate imaginations and creativity and develop life skills though participating in the performing arts.

The Lyric Youth Theater conducts a performance workshop that provides instruction in all aspects of musical theater: voice techniques, choreography, character development, costume and scenic design. The technical workshop provides non-performance theater instruction in all technical areas from show conception to performance.

Lyric Youth Theater will present Disney’s “Camp Rock” the musical Aug. 10, 11 and 12 at the Lake Ontario Playhouse in Sackets Harbor. A portion of proceeds will benefit Watertown Urban Mission’s “Back Pack” program. Organizers are asking the public to support this effort by bringing an item to help fill the back packs.

Disney’s “Camp Rock” the musical, based on the hit Disney Channel original movies “Camp Rock” and “Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam,” features more than a dozen songs, including “This Is Me,” “Can’t Back Down,” “It’s On,” and “We Rock.” The Lyric Youth Theater musical is presented by special arrangement with MTI Theatricals.

The cast is made up of students from throughout the county: Rachel Sousa, Liam Zaffora- Reeder, Remi Britt, Nicholas Shannon, Lacey Marriott, Nathan Shannon, Victoria Dell, Lindsey Davis, Amy Nans, Kaeleigh Meehan, Kaitlyn Elliott, Abigail Swanson, Hanna Kenney, Deidra Dickerson, Sarah McIntosh, Karim Kamal, Chance Gerkin, Devan Davis, Elena Martinez, Alana Keruski, Madison Draper, Cayla Ross, Danielle Flemming, K.C. Edick, Emily Thomas, Connor McDowell, Christine Bjornstad, Scott Taylor and Kevin Kitto.
