Acting, Singing, Dancing & Fun…Get ready for a summer to remember!
Our camps are designed to be performance based. Throughout each camp, campers will learn audition techniques, rehearsal processes, acting techniques, singing techniques & dance. Along with discovering their journey as an actor, campers will have the opportunity to participate in technical elements of their show if they wish. Headshots will be taken by a photographer of all of our campers to be displayed at their final performances. At the conclusion of camp, campers will have a weekend of performances. We hope you join us for a summer of fun!
