Study with the stars in this week-long camp! Campers will work with a variety of local and regional theater professionals and will build confidence in their performance skills. From audition techniques to stage presence, they will learn how to home in on their acting, dancing and singing skills while exploring iconic Broadway shows and building their audition portfolio.
