What is a day at theatre camp like?
Each day is a little different, but for the most part, mornings are spent learning the scenes, songs, and dances that are part of the play. During this time, students work together with children of a variety of ages to collaborate on the production. Most afternoons, students participate in age-specific workshops in theatre topics like improv, stage combat, storytelling, dance, musical theatre, etc. The specific topics vary each year. On Friday, the students perform for their friends, family, and the public, complete with sets, costumes, props, and music, which have all been professionally designed and built for the students.
How much are tickets to the public performance?
Each student registered receives two tickets for the performance. Additional tickets are available at the door 30 minutes prior to the performance. Additional adult tickets are $10 and student tickets are $5.
What is the camp location like?
Jack Benny Center is a part of the Waukegan Parks District and is a wonderful facility, fully-equipped for educating and entertaining families. We will spend the majority of our time in their lovely theatre space. In addition, some of our programming will take place in the dance studio and several small classroom spaces on-site. All areas of the center are air conditioned for your camper's comfort.
