In this short class, campers will audition, rehearse and present a short theatrical performance for family and friends on the last day of camp. These performances are adapted from story books and include every camper. Campers will play games, work on craft projects and   enjoy a structured period to learn about the basics of theatre. For these sessions, snacks are provided as a part of class.
