In this collegiate-style, two-week summer session, teen artists will learn from industry experts in a combination of acting and musical theatre training, rehearsal, and performance. Daily classes in acting, movement, and music will challenge students to explore the nuances of theatre technique and provide a framework for approaching songs, scenes, and monologues, developed and performed in an original revue at the end of the two weeks. This session is ideal for students who are passionate about theatre, excited to collaborate in a pre-professional environment with peers and industry experts, and looking to grow and develop as artists. Space is limited.
(2021 high school graduates are welcome)
REGISTRATION OPENS APRIL 19
These can be done together or separate. $175/camp or $300 for both
Early and late care available for an additional fee of $50 (7:45am drop off and 5pm pick up)
Princesses
Students in grades 1-6
Princesses will take place in the morning from 9am – Noon. Performances will take place at 12pm on Friday
This camp is for those wanting to explore the inner workings of the princesses.
Take a ride with Jasmine on a magic carpet and befriend her tiger pet. Explore with Ariel under the sea, finding gadgets and gizmos galore while maybe kinda shirking some princess responsibilities or explore uncharted territory with Moana. Find out just what kind of princess YOU are, and how you want to run YOUR kingdom!
Villains
Students in grades 1-6
Villains will take place from 12:30pm – 3:30pm. Performances will take place at 3:30pm on Friday
This camp is for those wanting to explore the inner workings of the princesses and/or their so-called villains.
Villains… are they really all THAT bad? There’s always another side to the story. Why did Ursula really steal Ariel’s voice? Did Jafar have the keen mind for details necessary to be a better leader than the absent-minded Sultan? Was Gaston really just trying to protect his neighbors from a seemingly reclusive, moody, beast-type monster? Let’s explore the other side of the story and our imaginations, and see what things look like from the other side.
