Actor's Camp for Training - Ages 8 - 16

ACT is a program offered to children and teens ages 8-16. The focus will include an exploration of performance skills such as staging, concentration, character development, projection, acting techniques & methods, and creative ways to research & build the life of a character. Each two-week session will culminate with a performance that gives students a chance to experience the magic of live theater. Open to friends and family, this showcase performance will demonstrate what the students have learned during camp training. The performance will be on the last day of camp. Give them a round of Applause!

The instructor for all sessions of Actors Camp for Training is Laurie Larson
