Theater Camp (Summer Session 6/20 - 7/1/11)

This two-week, 70 - hour camp (9 am - 4 pm)  will be offered this summer at two locations: Smithfield Little Theatre and Thomas Nelson Community College. Children 9 – 16 will participate in theater technique workshops during the day that emphasize the building of a closely knit ensemble. Children who enjoy working in a group and have the ability for sustained concentration have fun and flourish in our camp. Your child must be able to attend the full session, plus performance dates in order to be accepted.

Children will attend classes in: Theater History/Basics, Acting Instruction and Production Design. This summer camp will culminate in public performances of ArtReach Children’s Theatre adaptation of Alice in Wonderland. Camp tuition includes camp t-shirt and two free tickets for performance.
