inner child

Evin Rose

FOUNDER & CEO

Evin is a former theater kid who grew up, left her first love behind, and spent years belting (off-tune) in her car and sitting in audiences with teary eyes of joy and nostalgia.

Musical theater makes her soul feel alive — not just for the skill and talent, but for what's accessible to all of us: the connection to self and others, the chills when voices come together, the permission to be silly, messy, imperfect, and wholly authentic.

An Empowerment & Self Love Coach and retreat facilitator, Evin created Inner Child Theater Camp as the culmination of her professional work and the 8-year-old theater nerd who has always been with her. This is the space to set down adult perfectionism, ditch the productivity addiction, get off your phone, and just PLAY.

Frank Meely

Music Director + Vocal Coach

As head of Ascend Music Studios, Frank is bringing his nearly 2 decades of vocal coaching, music direction and performance experience to camp! With an emphasis on healthy technique and playful exploration, Frank will be an encouraging guide as he helps every camper to build confidence and to come together to create a unified sound. Fun fact: He’s also a certified Enneagram coach and a big believer in blending personality insight with creative growth!

Frank is elated to join you this summer, and to help you breathe deep, free your voice, and fill your heart & soul in community! He also loves to remind us that it's called PLAY for a reason: We don’t work music or theatre...we play!
