Here's the haps from our friends over at Lil Buds.   They're an award winning theatre troupe with sweet summer camps and classes for kids ages 3-18.   Du-Jay and Sagezilla took after school classes with them for the past two years and loved it.

Theatre Summer Camp

Announcing our 2012 Theatre Summer Camp season!

Theatre is a collaborative art.
With that in mind, the mission of the Li’l Buds Theatre Summer Camp is to instill the importance of collaboration and imagination.  We strive to build team work, self confidence, and a sense of accomplishment in each child. Through music, movement, playwriting and performance, we intend to help your child blossom into an enlightened theatre artist.  We offer a variety of different programs for all ages and skill levels from 3 years old to teen programming.  Check out the tabs on the left for information on the session your are interested or click below!

August 6th - August 10th 2012
9:00am -2:00pm
Monday - Friday
7-12 year olds
$200 per session
 

Throughout the camp week, we will focus on different aspects of theatre including movement, vocal production, playwriting, scene study, improvisation, theatre education/terminology, as well as set, prop and costume design/construction.  In classes, children will learn and master these skills, and will develop their own play to be performed at the end of camp each week. The plays they create will strive to reflect different aspects of life, relevant to themselves and their peers.  Each week, on the very first day of camp, the students will select a theme that they will use to help inspire their play.  Some of the themes will include:  friendship, family, fears/dreams and personal stories, as well as stories inspired by art/artists, literature, sound/noises, environment, and movement/physicality.  Then, each game or activity we work on that week will be geared towards the student selected theme, culminating with scripting, rehearsing and performing their original works.
Family invited performances – Friday, August 10th at 1pm.
THIS CAMP TAKES PLACE AT THE RIVENDELL THEATRE LOCATED AT 5779 N. RIDGE IN EDGEWATER

Returning campers and older students are encouraged to audition for our elite Summer Ensemble.  We will be doing 2 different sessions this year, a play and a musical.  Students need to prepare a short memorized monologue for the PLAY session, and both a monologue and a song (to be sung acapella) for the MUSICAL session.  We also take students who are interested on working on CREW - set, costumes, props etc.  For that, we will just have a short interview with them.  Email us today to sign up for an audition/interview slot.
