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.

Ms. Locks received a Master of Science, Childhood Education, from Long Island University and a Bachelor of Arts, Theater Production, from Bennington College. She has worked off Broadway, regionally, network television and in film before moving to the East End. Ms. Selyukova is a Pierson High School graduate, pursuing a career in acting. She has previously assisted two previous children's theater camps at Bay Street Theater, and has an extensive history with the mentorship program with Pierson Theater at the middle school level. In addition to teaching, she also directed Pierson's first student-produced musical, “The Fantasticks” with Mr. Hartman, in the spring of 2014.

Mr. Hartman is a graduate of Pierson High School who has acted in and helped with many shows in children's theater groups and local community theaters. In High School Paul mentored young actors in the middle school musicals and has worked with younger children with the Stages Creative Drama Class.
