MVCCT's fun performance-based camp offers an immersive, high-energy theater experience where participants collaborate to bring a scripted play to the main stage for a final performance on the last day of camp!​
Designed to build confidence and creativity, the camp balances rigorous rehearsals with a variety of engaging theater games, and designing scenery and props.
Campers will develop their acting skills, including characterization, vocal projection, and stage presence. Actors will learn to navigate the stage, block scenes, and rehearse a show with roles for everyone, culminating in a performance for friends and family. ​
This experience is perfect for school aged actors looking to improve their craft, build confidence, and have fun in a supportive, creative environment!
