Class size will be 8­10 students with students receiving excellent individual attention from a faculty with over 100 years of professional experience.

"Camp is going to be a lot of fun," said Suzi Regan, Artistic Director at the Network. "It's going to be a total immersion in how the Network makes plays, and students will walk away from this with not only a great experience under their belts, but real­life work training for their future resumes."
