Bay Street Theater & Sag Harbor Center for the Arts will host “My Life: The Musical,” a school vacation theater camp, February 15 through February 19. The camp is for children ages 8 to 12 and is held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily during the winter recess. Ava Locks, Bay Street Theater’s Director of Education, will supervise the camps and they will be co-taught by Emily Selyukova and Paul Hartman. Tuition is $425 for the five-day camp, which will include instruction in acting, singing, dance, performance, and musical theater history. Students will learn standard songs and choreography, and are encouraged to create their own original work. The camp culminates in a performance on the Bay Street Mainstage on Friday for friends and family.
