Summer Camps

CIVIC THEATRE SUMMER CAMP

The School of Theatre Arts also offers 9 weeks of theatre summer day camps for kids of all ages.

Kidsplay Kamp gives the very young performer (for students who have completed 4 year old, Preschool, Kindergarten or 1st grade) a whole week to explore, rehearse, have fun, and perform. The children are divided into groups according to age. Each child has his or her own role and also participates in an ensemble song.

Junior Theatre Arts Day Camp is for students who have completed 2nd or 3rd grade and lets them explore the process of putting on a play, including what goes on backstage as well as on stage. The camp culminates with a performance written specifically for the camp.

Theatre Arts Day Camp is for older kids (who have completed grades 4, 5, 6 or 7) and gives young actors a more structured introduction to the fundamental elements of theatre: acting, costumes, song & dance, and props and publicity. The camp culminates with a performance on the Civic's main stage.

Phase II offers a bigger challenge for the more experienced acting student (must have finished grades 7, 8, 9 or 10 and have attended 2 years of Theatre Arts Day Camp). They audition for roles in 4 short plays. Campers spend half their time rehearsing and the other half finding their costumes, building their set and getting props - all geared toward a public performance on the final day of camp.

The Civic Theatre Summer Camp is a great experience for kids and teens ages 4 and up. Each summer camp ends with a PERFORMANCE onstage! Summer registration will begin with the Walk-in Registration Day, March 29th. Final details including tuition will be available in early March.
