About This Activity

Description

In On Stage: Spotlight, everyone is a star! This year, we will be tackling material from the Broadway hit - Matilda! Our two week camp is designed to allow participants the opportunity to dive into performance and design/construction aspects of theatre by working on an abridged production. Campers will perform several musical numbers with corresponding scene work from Matilda. We'll start each day with physical, vocal, imagination & focus building warm-ups. Here's what we'll be doing:

  • creating & developing characters
  • rehearsing scenes/songs
  • blocking/choreographing musical numbers
  • learning music
  • set work and scene painting
  • constructing props and costumes
  • playing drama games
  • getting to know the theatre space and theatre terminology
Our goal is to have every camper on stage as much as possible, every camper engaged in the creative process, every camper proud of their work. Students will have the opportunity to audition for individual parts as well as sing in a group. On Stage: Spotlight Camp will be located at Heffner Park Community Center (42 Oswego Avenue Takoma Park, MD 20912) from July 1-10th. Participants will meet in the Auditorium (7500 Maple Avenue Takoma Park, MD 20912) on July 11 & 12th, ending with a showcase performance on July 12! Please note, the emphasis is on process, not product, though we haven't disappointed audiences yet! $40 materials fee helps to cover set materials, props, craft supplies, costume supplies, music purchase, cds, lyrics & script. Students will be able to keep some of their costume pieces and set/prop work.
Paperwork will need to be completed prior to the first day of camp. Please bring a non-perishable lunch every day.
No camp on Thursday, July 4.
Camp is Monday-Friday from 9am-3pm.
No Before or After care available.
