Dear Friends,
It’s almost time for Shakespeare Camp! Here are a few details that you will need to know for our camp. Please print this out and use it as a reminder the week of camp.
- Shakespeare Camp will be from _________ to ________ each day at the ___________ (stage name). (Add directions or parking information if needed.)
- How to prepare for Shakespeare Camp: Print a full script and thoroughly memorize your part. Practice speaking your part aloud at a slow rate and with a loud voice. In your script make a note “get ready” in the margin one full page before you are to come on stage. This will help you know when to come backstage. Also note in the margin any props you will need. Finally, assemble your costume and props. Please contact the costume director if you need help with your costume.
- What to bring to camp: Each day wear your costume to camp. Bring a water bottle, lunch, your script and a pen or pencil. If you are performing music, please bring your instrument and sheet music. Also, bring any props or changes of costume that you will need. Your parents are always welcome and anyone who would like to help document our camp with photography or filming is welcome to bring cameras.
- Our performance will be at _________ on the evening of ________. Please invite friends and family! Free tickets for you to print out are attached to this email. Actors should arrive with foundation makeup already applied at 5:00 pm. If all goes as planned, we will not have a rehearsal in the morning, and I would like the actors to rest during the day. I’d also like to remind parents that we will have a reception after the performance, so please bring a finger food.
Fare thee well!
