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

(TUSCALOOSA, AL) – For the sixth 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 19-30, 2017, from 8:15 a.m. until 12:00 p.m. Campers will learn acting, dance, music, improvisation, stage makeup, costume design, and audition tips. Camp is offered to students who are completing kindergarten through eleventh grade.

“We are once again looking forward to this annual tradition,” said Theatre Tuscaloosa Managing Director Adam Miller. “Working hand-in-hand with Tuscaloosa Children’s Theatre is a wonderful way for us to accomplish our educational mission. We see this camp as an investment in the future talent of our community.”

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. The 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.

“Instructors for the camp will be a mix of our veteran teachers and some new faces,” said Camp Coordinator Drew Baker. “I love watching the campers broaden their theatrical knowledge while having an incredibly enjoyable experience with their fellow campers.”

Camp instructors are seasoned theatre professionals who have demonstrated their talents both on stage and off. This year the camp will welcome a new instructor, Rhonda Wooley. She joins veteran instructors Brent Jones, Lindsey Jones, Merry Livingston, and Jeanette Waterman. They will share knowledge and experience with campers using fun group exercises and interactive projects.
