SUMMARY:Musical Theater Acting Camp "The Wizard of OZ"
DESCRIPTION:Musical Theater Acting Camp for ages 7 to 14 is an immersive three weeks of acting lessons\, singing lessons\, dancing lessons\, audition classes\, film screenings and rehearsals. The camp culminates with a performance of “The Wizard of Oz” in the The John and Nancy Hughes Theater\, our 309-seat state-of-the-art facility. \nThe first week of camp consists of acting\, singing\, dancing\, and audition classes. The basics of acting such as hitting a mark\, enunciation and voice projection as well as more advanced acting principles such as developing a character\, developing a relationship and creating real behavior are explored. Dance and singing classes introduce and progress basic and advanced techniques necessary for musical theater performance such as vocal phonation and total body awareness. Audition classes cover the basics such as where to look during a casting session as well as tips on how to take direction from a casting director or director; every actor will go to his or her first or next audition with confidence. \nAll students will audition for and be cast in “The Wizard of Oz” that will be rehearsed for the remainder of camp and performed twice at the end of camp in The John and Nancy Hughes Theater. After the last performance\, there will be a cast party! \nAll classes and rehearsals are held at Gorton Center in Lake Forest in one of our beautiful spaces such as The John and Nancy Hughes Theater\, our dedicated dance room and our intimate black box theater. \nThis is a fantastic opportunity for seasoned actors to hone their skills and first-timers to get their feet wet in a low-pressure environment\, but still get the experience of a professional production. Our goal is to have fun with old friends\, make new friends\, learn about acting\, learn acting skills that are applicable to life and experience the thrill of performing “The Wizard of Oz” in front of a live audience in The John and Nancy Hughes Theater. \nMadison Kisst will direct the production.
