THEATRE TUSCALOOSA, TUSCALOOSA CHILDREN’S THEATRE TO OFFER SUMMER THEATRE CAMP

(TUSCALOOSA, AL) – For the fifth consecutive summer, Theatre Tuscaloosa and Tuscaloosa Children's Theatre (TCT) will partner to present Theatre Camp. The summer day camp will be Mondays through Fridays, June 13-24, 2016, from 8:00 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. Campers will learn acting, improvisation, singing, dancing, and costume design. Camp is offered to students who are completing kindergarten through those who are completing eleventh grade.

“We’re excited to once again be partnering with Theatre Tuscaloosa for our annual summer Theatre Camp,” says Drew Baker, Artistic Coordinator for Tuscaloosa Children’s Theatre. “The camp is always a huge success, and I am sure that this year will be no different!”

Campers will be divided into five different age groups and will rotate through four different classes each day. A showcase will be held at the end of camp. Cost of registration is $262 for each camper and includes a camp shirt. Registration is limited to twenty campers per age group and operates on a first-come-first-served basis. Early registration is strongly encouraged.

Camp instructors are seasoned theatre professionals who have demonstrated their talents both on stage and off. This year the camp will welcome two new instructors, Merry Livingston and Sara Margaret Cates. They join veteran instructors Lindsey Jones, Mary Kathryn Mathews, Brent Jones, and Jeanette Waterman. They will share knowledge and experience with campers using fun group exercises and interactive projects.
