SDCT SUMMER CAMP

theater around the world

june 11-23

At our Summer Acting Camp this year, over 50 children got the chance to explore the magic of theatre in a safe and supportive environment. Performers of all levels -- beginner and advanced -- find expression and fulfillment on stage and in the classroom.

This is an exciting program for young actors who want to study, work and learn in a professional theater environment. Lessons in acting, movement, voice and related topics are be taught daily by our well trained and experienced staff of theater educators.

Our program is for young performers ages 5-18 and is non-competitive and more geared to learning and fun. The goal of this program is to give students the opportunity to discover and develop their optimum potential in a nurturing environment Our fun-filled two week session ends in an exciting performance on the mainstage at Blue Ridge Community Theater.

This year's theme was "Theater Around the World". Children were exposed to many different types and eras of theater from all over the globe. Each class was instructed from a broad based curriculum that included acting, dance, arts & crafts and stage movement while incorporating history and customs from over 20 different countries.

The student's camp efforts culminated in a performance that included a Japanese Parasol Dance, a classic from a 2,000 year old Indian Epic Poem, an Ancient Egyptial Burial Ceremony and an authentic Dragon Dance with our own 30 FOOT DRAGON! It was a summer these kids will never forget!
