This two-week, fun-filled camp will teach acting and dance to kids ages 8 to 16 as they learn the basics of auditioning, scene blocking, choreography and develop a 30-minute mini musical to be performed the last day of camp on the Whatley Center stage for family and friends.
Auditions for parts will take place the second day of camp (we’ll get to know each other on day one & learn auditioning skills). Every camper will be cast. Those cast as lead roles will be required to memorize lines each night in preparation for the next day’s rehearsal (no worries, you can do it!)
“THE BUTTER FINGER GANG MYSTERIES: The Mini Musical,“ written & directed by Jodie Wilk, follows four campers set on solving mysteries at Camp Katchum Squashum: Agatha, the mystery-genre enthusiast who never reads to the end; Mac, the inept McGeyver; Gertie, the nervous cutie with a short attention span; and Crockett, the reluctant leader of The Butter Finger Gang. These four, along with a bunch of other camp characters, like the Lottie & Dottie twins, Ms. Happy Klutzenberger the clumsy athletic director, Camp Band members Ringo, Mick, Cher & Tay and Old Lady Walker, the camp director and many more try to have fun at camp with mysteries of missing peanut butter and bananna sandwiches and stolen packages are afoot.
Cost: $150 for Theatre Camp Only, $200 for full day registration (includes instruction, prop & costume usage & camp t-shirt)
When: July 8-18 on Mondays-Thursdays, 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
