Welcome to Camp Curtain Call!

Thank you for registering your aspiring actor for an exciting week of theatre fun at Camp Curtain Call! We’re thrilled to have your child join us and wanted to share some details about what to expect during camp—and to introduce you to our amazing team!

🎭 What to Expect

This week will be packed with education, creativity, and fun! Each day will include:

• Rotating educational classes and rehearsals focused on acting and performance skills.
   

• Hands-on lessons in technical theatre, where campers will help design and create part of the set.
   

• Group activities and games led by counselors and staff.
   

• Daily lunch and snacks, generously provided by Donny King.
   

At the end of the week, your child will perform in a full 30 minute production of Disney’s Finding Nemo Kids for family and friends!

🌟 What Campers Will Learn

Throughout the week, campers will explore a variety of theatre skills that not only prepare them for the stage but also help them grow as confident, creative individuals. Our daily schedule includes focused instruction in

• Voice & Diction – Learning to project, articulate, and speak clearly with confidence.
   

• Movement – Understanding how to use body language and physical expression in performance.
   

• Music & Choreography – Developing rhythm, coordination, and teamwork through song and dance.
   

• Improvisation – Strengthening quick thinking, creativity, and collaboration through fun theatre games.
   

• Technical Theatre – Gaining hands-on experience in set design, costumes, and behind-the-scenes elements of production.
   

These activities are designed to support more than just performance skills. Theatre training naturally builds:

• Self-confidence and public speaking skills
   

• Creative thinking and problem-solving
   

• Empathy and collaboration with peers
   

• Resilience and the ability to adapt to new challenges
   

Whether your child dreams of being on Broadway or simply wants a fun, enriching summer experience, Camp Curtain Call is a place where they’ll grow in character, creativity, and confidence!
