Summer Camp for First Stage

You can see some coverage of First Stage's first-ever Summer Theatre Camp in today's Herald-Dispatch, including a gallery of photos by Lori Wolfe (like the photos above and below).

It goes like this:
Young actors and actresses are honing their craft this week during the first of two weeks of theater camp offered by First Stage Theatre Company.

First Stage Theatre Company was founded in 1990 and has staged more than 50 theatrical shows starring children from the Huntington area.

Theater camps help young actors and actresses prepare for auditions, learn the 14 basic dance steps, prepare proper monologues and discover what songs are best suited for each audition, as well as instructions on the basics of theater performance, dance and auditioning skills.

The first camp, which runs through Friday, June 15, is open to students in grade six through 12. The second camp, which will be held July 9-13, is open to students in kindergarten through fifth grade. Younger performers will learn about auditioning and staging dramatic and musical numbers and what it takes to produce a show from start to finish.

Camps are held under the direction of Mary Smirl at Pea Ridge United Methodist Church. Cost is $100 per camper.
