For anyone in the Bay Area, I will give the info I know about the Gilbert and Sullivan Camp at the SF Conservatory of Music. It is a couple of weeks long, and is an audition program. The teachers are from the Lamplighters, which is the professional Gilbert and Sullivan troupe the is in residence in SF. The kids range in age from around 12-18. My nephew was one of the older kids. Several of the kids had been cast in Lamplighter productions in the past. My nephew was cast as a pirate in Pirates of Penzance, and The Mikado in the Mikado scene they did. One of the really neat things is the kids use costumes from the Lamplighters. The scenery is very basic, but the training, and the level of the kids there is really good.
