Nick Lenz ’17 (Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre) will direct, choreograph and teach at the internationally acclaimed Stagedoor Manor for nine weeks this summer. Stagedoor Manor is a performing arts summer camp that has trained young actors for success in theatre, TV and film for more than 45 years. Lenz will direct and choreograph three fully produced musicals as well as teach classes in musical theatre.
“I am very excited to be continuing what I love to do most this summer: teaching and helping to shape the next generation of performing artists,” said Lenz.
Lenz currently serves as the chair of the performing arts department and head of musical theatre at Westinghouse Arts Academy (WAA) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. WAA is a Performing and Creative Arts High School.
“I am so thankful to Shenandoah Conservatory’s musical theatre program for the training I was provided in my time in undergrad. Currently, I am working towards my M.Ed. in Advanced Teaching. This opportunity at Stagedoor Manor allows for me to meld both of my passions: musical theatre and education.”
