Description: This weeklong theatre camp offers a unique experience for youth ages 8–15. We provide a fun and safe space to build self-esteem, foster independence, and grow as individuals while learning to work as an ensemble. A team of teaching artists, led by Whitney and Paul Minarik, will guide campers as they write their own scripts and develop their acting, singing, and dancing skills. Throughout the week, campers will create their own version of the story and songs inspired by the movie and musical, Shrek. The final day of camp culminates with a live performance on our incredible Center stage for families and friends that showcases a week of hard work and creativity!
