Performances of the Past

On-site classes and rehearsals encourage the actors to explore their range, pushing their boundaries and honing their talents. Campers will learn from experienced theater professionals who enthusiastically share their knowledge and expertise. These dedicated mentors help campers develop their skills, gain confidence, and discover new possibilities within themselves. Workman, Bledsoe, and their staff aim to keep a low-pressure environment, as theater can be daunting for those who have never experienced being on stage. “We’re meeting kids where they’re at with their skill sets,” explained Bledsoe. “We have beginner performers to advanced performers, so we try to cater the camp to make everyone feel comfortable.” Each camp begins with ice-breakers, getting- to-know-you activities, and learning the show material before auditions. “We try to allow the campers to get to know us before we dive into auditions because they can be intimidating, especially if it’s their first time,” shared Bledsoe. After the cast list is announced, the campers hit the ground running. When they’re not rehearsing, campers and counselors take advantage of the nature surrounding them.
