For rising 4th-7th graders, Theater Camp for Kids: A Midsummer Night's Dream offers a hands-on, beginning-to-end experience of being in a play. Experienced professional teaching artists will guide campers through the process of auditioning, casting, table reads, table work, blocking and staging, rehearsing, adding technical elements (costumes, props, wigs, lights, sound), and performance. In addition, campers will learn and build upon skills in acting, voice, movement, theater etiquette, and comedic timing as they work on a kid-friendly, language-accessible version of one of the greatest comedies ever written -- William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream! Campers will also explore improvisation techniques and character creation with a focus on artistic collaboration. The week culminates in an afternoon showcase at Constellation Playhouse that gives budding young theater artists the opportunity to shine.
Camp Showcase: A Midsummer Night's Dream showcase will held on Friday, June 6 @ 3:00pm.
