Live musical theatre camps
Chicago Teen Edition-Cork-19th to 25th July 2026
Residential Musical Theatre Camp for 2026 (suitable for 12 to 19 year olds across Ireland and overseas students welcome!)Students stay on Bandon Grammar School Campus for rehearsals and accommodation, this year’s finale will once again be in the stunning Briery Gap Theatre In Macroom. West Cork!
During our musical theatre programme of Chicago Teen Edition, students work with our leading industry team! A choreographer, musical director, and professional theatre director to create acting, voice, movement, singing and dance skills in a safe space. Through ensemble, individual classes and company rehearsal, participants develop the skills necessary for performing in a musical production in seven days. In addition to day rehearsal, evening entertainment and guest workshops are all included for an action packed day up to hot chocolate at 10pm!
This intensive immersion in musical theatre helps build self esteem, develop new skills and enhance performance. Our students acquire audition technique and these vital life skills complement school in September for increased confidence while creating amazing memories. For many students, this is the best week of the entire year and early booking recommended.
On final day of the summer course, students travel by coach to perform a full show with professional technicians, to a live audience of family and friends! This experience for teens guarantees a magical summer school and show will be in the stunning relaunched venue, The Briery Gap Cultural Centre In Macroom. West Cork! (30 minutes drive from Bandon)

"A pulse racing revival that flies us right into musical heaven."
The New York Times
"Wildly entertaining...with a dazzling score."
New York Daily News
"As dazzling a demonstration of the craft of musical theatre as you're ever going to see on a Broadway stage."
The New York Post
Premiere Production: Chicago first opened on Broadway at the 46th Street Theatre in New York City on June 3, 1975. The production, directed and choreographed by Bob Fosse, ran for 936 performances. On Nov 14, 1996, a revival of the show opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre. It latered transferred to Shubert Theatre, and then to the Ambassador Theatre, where, more than two decades later, it continues to run, logging nearly 15,000 performances.
Teenage Stage..is inviting for you to join us behind bars for our brand new sizzling, scintillating, show-stopping production of the one and only… CHICAGO TEEN EDITION! For the very first time, in our tenth anniversary show, we will take to the stage, tackling an all time classic. Chicago is a once in a lifetime musical wonder; a dangerous tango between the crime-fuelled darkness of 1920s suburbia and the razzle-dazzle, high-kicking glamour of the American Dream.
The spotlight shines on two of the most sensational women in musical theatre: Velma Kelly, the sultry siren with a deadly secret, and Roxie Hart, the ambitious dreamer who’ll do anything to land her name in lights. In a city where everyone’s got a story to tell and a lie to sell, these two femmes fatales are about to fight for the fame that could make them legends.
With infamous show-stopping numbers such as All That Jazz and Cell Block Tango, there is no musical that epitomises glitz, glamour, and scandal quite like Chicago. When it comes to crime and showbiz, there’s only one rule: anything goes. So grab your feather bowers and strap on your tap shoes, because Cook County Jail is waiting for you…
