During the week of camp, campers may ask to bring things in from home to support the acting, such as props or costume accessories. It is up to the parent’s discretion if items can be brought from home.
What to expect theatrically during the week?
Campers will be learning a play during the week. They will be asked to work on lines and blocking when not at camp. Even if not a musical, they may also learn songs and dance moves. It is a busy week with a great deal of information our campers are learning. But it is fun and energetic. Just be ready for some tired campers who will need their rest at night! The director will cast roles based on a mini- audition process on the first day of camp, and everyone gets a role! Some kids will have more lines to learn than other, yet all the roles are important to make the show.
