Theater Summer Camp
Theater Summer Camp

Participants will take part in a variety of activities and exercises related to the production of a theatrical performance. This may include such activities as role-playing, set and costume design.

Participants will perform the play Snow White – A Fractured Fairy Tale. Campers will be assigned roles based on their interests and the needs of the production. All children will have some speaking lines, some more than others. Campers may also have other roles in the production.

On the final day of the camp, after the performance, we will tear down and put away all materials, watch a video of the production, and have a pizza party. After that, we will visit the splash pad in the afternoon.

The performance will be on July 25 at 7pm.
