2008 Summer Theatre Camp
[Update 6/13/08: Sessions 1 and 2 are closed to new registrations. Session 3, July 21 - August 1, is still available.]
We’re pleased to announce three sessions of our popular Summer Theatre Camp for 2008. The three 2-week sessions are open to kids 7 - 14 years old and will be held June 16 - 27 (registration closed), July 7 - 18 (registration closed), and July 21 - August 1 (available). We’re especially excited to have local director, actor, and teacher Richard Bunker leading the camps this year.
Conveniently located at our theatre in central Alameda, the Altarena Playhouse Summer Theatre Camp offers children of all skill levels the chance to study improvisation, acting, public speaking, directing, and audition skills. In a camp setting, the students will participate in theatre games, pantomimes, short scenes, beginning costuming and mask-making. The two-week session culminates in a fully-staged 45- to 60-minute young actor’s production of one of these classics:
- “HOOD” (Robin Hood)
- “MACBETH” (Comedic version of the Shakespeare classic)
- “MUSKETEERS” (The Three Musketeers)
- “WOLF ‘N THE HOOD” (A one-act, court-room fairytale comedy for kids)
The show chosen for each session will depend on number/age of campers per Session.
This is not an ordinary camp experience; it is designed to give your student a greater knowledge of the theater arts experience. The camp is open to all ability levels and will be a great addition to any student’s summer vacation.
Each two-week session meets Monday - Friday from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm. Tuition is $475 per session. Aftercare will be available on an hourly basis. The final performance for family and friends will take place on the last day of each session at 2:00 pm at The Altarena.
