SUMMER THEATRE CAMP
At FunCamp 2012, depending on the age group and session, students will work on projects that may include acting technique, playwriting, voice & movement for the stage, singing, choreography, improvisation, make-up, costume, set and prop design that develop into a “Final Performance”. Students are asked to wear comfortable clothes and shoes they can move in. Students should bring a lunch with them each day.
