Go Beyond the Basics to Develop Your Talent
If you're ready to dive deeper into the world of theatre, this summer camp is the place for you! In the mornings, you’ll work to devise and perform original works that you create with other students. In the afternoons, you’ll rehearse a one-act play to present for your friends and family. Join us in Advanced Center Stage Camp to build a community of actors and grow your skills! This camp is open to young actors who have previously performed in at least two plays (at school or elsewhere). Beginning actors are welcome in our other camps.
This Summer's Play: The Campus Murders
One night at a party, seven wealthy college students form an odd (and creepy) pact. They'll all contribute money to a single account and the last one to die will keep the cash. It's not much more than a late-night joke: they'll all live for 60 or 70 more years, right? But then one member of the pact dies in what seems to be a random robbery. Another has a narrow escape from a deadly car accident. Pretty soon, the survivors realize that one of their "friends" is determined to claim the money by any means necessary. But who's the killer? This whodunit mystery will keep you (and the audience) guessing until the very end! Please note that our play is subject to change based on enrollment.
