The Spring Break production camp is a full day, one-week camp which culminates in a fully produced performance. This camp will give students who are interested in theatre, design, art, and engineering the experience of building and producing a show in a short timeframe. The camp is perfect for students that like being on stage as well as those that want to work behind the scenes. They will get an intensive, hands-on design and performance experience where they will join live theatre, shadow puppetry and film to create an original theatre piece and make great friends while doing so.
