SHOWDOWN ACADEMY THEATER CAMP 2010

Showdown Academy

 

Showdown Academy is an intensive, three week adventure into theater for 6th graders through 12th graders. It begins with morning classes where students choose three of the following: acting, directing, composing, stage movement, musical theater, dance, stage craft and playwriting. Afternoons are devoted to rehearsals for the full production. The program will end with an original show – making its mid-west premiere.
