Schedule:

• Ages 6-11: 9:00 am - 12:00 pm
  These students will perform in a production of Seussical Kids. They will learn and rehearse the songs and choreography while also learning basic theatre terminology and acting skills.

• Ages 12-18: 1:00 pm - 4:00 pm
  These students will devise a short theatre piece based on the works of Dr. Seuss (and other writers) for a showcase. Devising work means that students will collaborate to create a story that they perform together. This work engages the skills of the actor, the writer and the designer.
  OPTIONAL: 9am-12pm - Students in this group who wish to build their leadership skills and learn technical theatre skills may serve as mentors, technicians, and designers for the Ages 6-11 production of Seussical KIDS. Lunch will be provided for students who opt into this programming.

Teaching Artists: Virginia Jimenez and Laura Crummer

 

Objectives of Theatre Education Camps:

• Develop core theatre skills in youth.

• Provide a creative outlet that enhances self-expression and confidence.

• Foster teamwork and communication through collaborative exercises.

• Introduce theatre terms and stage direction fundamentals.

• Engage families by offering skill-sharing sessions or performances to celebrate participant growth.

 

Skill-Sharing Sessions/ Performances: Some camps will conclude with an informal skill-sharing session, allowing participants to demonstrate their learning progress to friends and family. This approach encourages a supportive atmosphere where campers can take pride in their development without the pressures of a traditional performance. Performances also celebrate students' progress, but in a formal and polished way.

​

Saturday, June 7th:

• Sharing for both camps at 11:00 am

• Sharing for both camps at 1:00 pm

• Sharing/Performance will take place on the Main Stage

• Ages 6-11 will perform Seussical KIDS

• Ages 12-18 will share work they devise from Dr. Seuss stories. 

• There will be a short intermission between the performance and the sharing.

Scholarships are available!

​

MSL's camps provide a creative, educational, and confidence-building experience for children and teens through the performing arts. However, we recognize that for many families in our community, the cost of summer camp can be a barrier. That’s why we offer a number of scholarships that will ensure no child is turned away due to financial hardship.

Our scholarships are awarded based on financial need, interest in the arts, and a commitment to participating fully in the camp experience. 

When requesting a scholarship to attend a summer camp hosted or supported by Main Street Live, applicants should:

• Write a short letter or email to us requesting the scholarship.

• In the letter, demonstrate genuine interest in theatre or the performing arts.

• Explain why they want to attend the camp and what they hope to learn or contribute.

• Indicate financial need through a short explanation from a parent/guardian that camp fees present a challenge.

Commit to attending the full duration of the camp if awarded a scholarship.
