It’s the extremely popular Midsummer Madness One-Week Acting Camp at Santa Monica Playhouse, where kids 6 to 14 have fun acting, singing, dancing, working with costumes, lighting, sets and props as they disover the joy of creativity, theatre magic and imagination.
Monday through Friday, 9am to 3pm, July 18-22. Boys and girls share in an incredible week-long adventure, excitedly diving into all aspects of play production, creating a unique mini-musical of their own. “My daughter had a blast! It’s amazing what they can accomplish in only one short week. Nothing like it anywhere else!†says workshop mom M. Mayer. Working with professional theatre artists to create an astonishing piece of original theatre, presented for friends and family, and the public, on the last day of the session, makes it all the more special. <
