Camps
From The Ground Up! Advanced Theatre Camp
Campers will start from the ground up creating their own production. From choosing a script, to casting and directing, creating props, set and costumes. Campers will learn about and be involved in every aspect of the creative process. At the end of the camp, they will perform for their friends and family and show off all of their hard work. So whether your camper prefers to be in the spotlight, or the one controlling the lights, there is something for everyone!
