Events and Activities : Young aspiring actors invited to attend Summer Theatre Camp

Director Erin Horst announces a six week theatre camp for young actors in the Vinton area, with the support of ACT I.

The camp will consist of six one-week workshops June 7 through July 30, with a new focus each week, including, musical theatre, direction and movement, costumes, lighting, thinking creatively, and many other topics designed to give budding actors and actresses good foundations for live theatre.

Each workshop will be divided into groups by age so that participants will be working with others of their own age, and will culminate in public performances at the end of each week. The workshop performances will be based on 3LH Famous People Profiles, including such far-ranging personalities as Abraham Lincoln, Walt Disney, Pocahontas, Anne Frank, and many others.

For complete details about all the workshops, take a look at the workshop overview.
