Students participate in the rehearsal and production of a major main stage musical, experiencing the performing arts through fun and creative collaborative projects that are performed at the end of the day. The program culminates with the student's final performance of a fantastic summer musical. It's amazing what these children accomplish in four short weeks, while still enjoying daily camp activities. Session is subject to availability of play and minimum enrollment.

This excerpt is from the Art is Essential TV series hosted by Gavilan College's Dean of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Fran Lozano. The program airs on GavTV-18.

In this segment, which aired in the summer of 2008, host Fran Lozano interviewed STAR leaders who were involved in the program as children ("STAR Kids"), and who came back into the STAR Program to become leaders, and who were also involved in the 2008 STAR Gilroy production of SEUSSICAL JR.

This interview included Miss Janine Mortan, STAR Program Coordinator, and STAR Unit Leaders: Mr. Dale Keeler, Mr. Greg Smith, and Miss Katie Hipol. These STAR leaders are all returning this summer to join in the fun!
