In a fun and creative environment, campers develop theatre skills, gain confidence and develop social skills through collaboration and performance! Professional teaching artists lead four separate classes focused on acting, singing, and dance, with one specialty class that varies from session to session (i.e. improvisation, fight choreography, stage makeup, and puppetry). The week will culminate in a showcase performance of the play for friends and family!

Campers will be cast in, and rehearse, a musical that will be performed at the end of the two week session. Throughout the rehearsal process, professional guest artists will be brought in to mentor and work with the campers on audition technique, acting a song, character movement, dance, and more. Campers develop theatre skills, gain confidence and develop social skills through the development of a musical.

A unique summer internship experience for teens! As teacher’s assistants, this internship experience allows teens the opportunity to learn from theatre professionals about the art of theatre creation while also learning camp counselor skills. This is a fun and creative environment that fosters leadership and communication skills in teens while also being in a space of play and creative expression. This program qualifies for the Summer Cooperative Education Credits through the Trillium Lakelands District School Board. Teens will have the opportunity to meet and work with professionals. At the conclusion of the program, interns will receive letters of recommendations and references to help them in their future job searches and they may apply for available paid summer employment with The Grove Theatre.
