Virginia Samford Theatre introduces kids and teens to the joys of creating musical theater at its STARS Camp Virginia Samford Theatre and STARS Summer Studio in June.
STARS Camp Virginia Samford Theatre allows beginning and intermediate performers ages 7-15 to explore all aspects of live theater, including dance, voice and acting.
Students will show off what they learn in a fun showcase at week’s end.
“They’ll share their favorite scenes, dances and songs with parents and friends on Friday afternoon,” says Jenna Bellamy, director of the STARS Program.
For the second year, Virginia Samford Theatre will present its STARS Summer Studio for campers ages 12-18 with prior theater or performance experience.
“The Studio engages advanced students in workshop-style masterclasses to take their theater knowledge to the next level,” Bellamy says.
The Studio has been expanded to an all-day experience this year with new morning classes in production design, stage management and directing.
Both camps offer participants “a joyful week of creativity, learning and making new theater friends,” Bellamy says.
The camps will be held for the second year on the beautiful arts campus at Mountain Brook High School.
“It’s a wonderful facility to work and learn in,” Bellamy says.
There will be two one-week sessions of Camp Virginia Samford Theatre, Monday-Friday, June 3-7 and June 10-14, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. There will also be two one-week sessions of STARS Summer Studio on the same dates from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Tuition is $300 for the week and Virginia Samford Theatre offers scholarships and sibling discounts.
