Lee University’s Department of Communication Arts will host a new two-week camp for students aged 7-12 and 12-18 from June 8-19. 

The youth camp for ages 7-12 will involve students in rehearsing and performing a play. During their time in the camp from 9 a.m.-noon each day, students will work with Lee theatre students and faculty to learn about characterization, physical acting, vocal training and stage presence. Registration for this camp includes a T-shirt and snacks. The camp will culminate in a performance by the students on Friday, June 19 at 6:30 p.m.

Students aged 12-18 are invited to enroll in the Teen Summer Stock theatre camp, taking place each day from 1-4 p.m.
 As part of the Summer Stock theatre, they will audition for roles on the first day of the camp and then produce a one-act play. All students in the camp will be given a role in the production, either onstage or backstage. This camp will focus on giving the student the full theatrical experience from audition to performance and providing students with hands-on experience running a full show in a state-of-the-art theatre. The Summer Stock theatre’s final performance will be Friday, June 19 at 8 p.m.

“The summer theatre camps are a really exciting opportunity for Lee Theatre to work with children in our local community,” said Dr. Christine Williams, associate professor of theatre at Lee. “It is very rewarding to see the students grow in their confidence and skills over the two weeks of the camp. It is also exciting to introduce students to the world of theatre and the possibilities of performance.” 

Each camp is $200 per student with a $50 discount for siblings.  The registration form can be found at www.leeuniversity.edu/theatre.
