    WEST MILFORD — West Milford Parks and Recreation will be sponsoring a Broadway Theater Camp this summer. This Summer Arts in West Milford program will be directed by Doug Heyburn, choral teacher at West Milford High School and director of the high school spring musical. His co-director will be Maria Calabrese Heyburn, choreographer of the high school spring musical and an original member of six Broadway shows. All courses will be held in the high school auditorium and the high school music theory room. Summer Arts will be accepting registration for “Don’t Say No to the USO,” a rousing patriotic musical salute. There are 10 leading male roles and 20 leading female roles, as well as numerous ensemble roles. Participants will learn everything from the music, choreography and scenes, to set painting and decoration — all done in preparation for a full production on the final day of the camp. All campers will receive acting, dance and vocal instruction in addition to the rehearsal process. The program is designed for students entering seventh through twelfth grades in September and will run from Thursday, July 6 through Friday, July 2, from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m. The cost is $275 per participant. Registration forms are available at the Parks and Recreation Office, located in Hillcrest Community Center or on line at www.westmilford.org. Follow the prompts for forms and documents.
