About
Campers enjoy a full theatrical experience combining acting, dance, movement, voice, and music—all culminating in a celebratory Saturday performance in costume and under the lights on the Penfold stage! Each camp runs two weeks, Monday through Friday, from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., with optional early drop-off at 8:00 a.m. and late pickup until 6:00 p.m. at no additional charge. Performances happen on the Saturday following the final day of camp. Campers receive daily instruction in acting, music, dance/movement, and theatre games as they rehearse for a final performance under the lights and in costume on the Penfold stage for family and friends. Camp days are divided into rotating 45-minute sessions where students move through different stations including acting, voice, movement, music, stagecraft, theatre games and daily rehearsals for the show. No prior experience is required! Our camps are designed for both beginners and experienced performers, and all students are supported at their individual skill level. On the first day of camp, students participate in a fun, low-pressure casting assessment where they read different roles and play with scenes alongside the teaching artists; casting is based on this collaborative process and designed to give every camper a meaningful role. Penfold Theatre Company provides costumes for all campers as part of the program. Sessions include: Miss Nelson is Missing (June 1–12), Seussical KIDS (June 15–26), and Pirates vs Mermaids (July 20–31).
