"Create-A-Play" Theater/Art Summer Camp
Camp will be staffed with experienced theater and art professionals. Theater Director is Kathleen Nation, and Art Director is Martha Truscott. It will be tailored to middle-school-age children, entering 6th grade to leaving 8th grade. Theatrical and artistic activities will alternate mornings and afternoons. Campers will create some artwork to take home, in addition to sets, props and costumes for the play.
Camp is 9 am to 4 pm, July 13-17. Drop-off begins at 8:45 am and pick-up should be promptly at 4 pm. Campers should bring a lunch, water bottle, and snacks daily. Orion will provide some snacks and water. Campers will spend some time outdoors during the day. Play performance is at 3 pm on Friday, July 22, followed by cast/family party.
Our unique camp encourages maximum creativity. Half of the day, campers develop a play. Campers decide what character they want to be, and collaborate to write a play including all the characters. Astronaut, rock star, tiger, doctor? --anyone you imagine can be in the play (except no copyrighted characters or real people). All characters get equal numbers of lines and stage time.
The other half of the day, campers work on visual arts, designing and creating sets, props, and costumes, painting self-portraits, drawing, and other artistic activities. Some artwork can be taken home. Campers will also have outdoor time.
