Jane Tasch Theatre - Ages 8-18 - Monday, June 8–Friday, June 19
This camp is run in cooperation with Pinckney Community Education
Theater is an amazing way to bring so many things learned in the classroom to life. Theater camp is a great building block for developing leadership skills, confidence, and collaborative abilities, as well as giving students hands-on experience with theater. This year’s camp show will be Matilda Jr. Rest assured, there will be many fun roles with something for everyone, from the experienced actor to someone who just wants to give acting a try. Please note that because this camp culminates in a community production, it is important that campers attend all dates unless special arrangements are made with staff when registering. Also, please note that there will be no refunds issued after auditions begin on April 29th.
Instructors: Shannon Egenolf and Christine Schoendorff
Producers: Lynn Hoseney, Ann Langford, and Lori Miller
Performances will be on June 19th, 20th, and 21st, depending on the session.
Auditions: April 29th or 30th and May 4th or 5th, 6:30 pm – 8:30 pm (for onstage registrants only), depending on session. Please come prepared to sing a short song. You may also be taught a few simple dance steps to perform and do cold readings from the script.
