Interlochen's intermediate musical production program for grades 6-9 is an in-depth experience in theatre. Actors take the next step in their training as they discover their own capabilities and strengths as performers and build a foundation for future study.
In the six-week musical theatre production summer program, students develop skills in acting, singing and dancing through intensive work with a team of instructors while staging a musical production with technical and design support. Recent productions include The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Little Shop of Horrors, Cinderella and Cats. Students participate in:
- Musical theatre production rehearsal includes acting, voice and dance
- Acting technique class
Note: Given the intensity of the program, electives are not available.

The theatre department regularly welcomes visiting artists. Broadway actors Anthony Rapp (Rent, Little Shop of Horrors), Barrett Foa (NCIS:LA, Avenue Q, The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, Mamma Mia!), Kevin Chamberlin (Seussical, The Addams Family), and Heather Headley (The Lion King, Aida) have been recent guests of the department.
