Wagon Wheel Theatre announced the fourth annual young actors' workshops.
The first program, Summerplay, will be offered for actors going into second through sixth grades, and will run from June 16-18, 1 to 4 p.m. The fee is $75 per student.The second, a Musical Theatre Workshop, will be offered for actors going into grades 7-12, and will run from July 25 through Aug. 2 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The student should provide his or her own lunch. The fee is $250.
Summerplay will follow the traditional camp format, with the opportunity for young actors to participate in hands-on theater activities including acting skills, puppetry, movement, dance and creative play.
The Musical Theatre Workshop focuses on middle and high school students' commitment to improving the art of acting while working with professionals. The students will rehearse and perform a full musical theatre production, which is to be announced at a later date. This intense, 10-day workshop will highlight voice training, movement, dance, acrobatic skills, choreography, character creation and working with an ensemble. Although previous expertise is not required, students should be able to display commitment, endurance and a sense of excitement.
Class sizes are limited.
