Summer Camps 2010

Action packed Kids’ Crew theatre camps are taught by theatre professionals. Take one session or all four, each experience will be unique and centered on a specific theme. Kids take classes in Acting, Storytelling, Improvisation, Dance, Music and Design everyday. On Friday, they will present a show for their families and friends to showcase all they have learned and created during the week.

At Teen Company Musical Theatre Camp Philly’s finest musical theatre pros will teach kids how to sing, act, and dance, and they’ll teach them how to do it all at once! Teens will have a ball as they learn how to interpret a song, read music, sing harmony, and present a song. Learn group numbers that focus on collaboration, choreography, and harmony. Campers will work with a piano accompanist in every class. At the end of the camp, parents, friends, and family will be invited to share a musical revue starring their teens!
