If your child loves to act and play pretend, have we got a place for them! Grace Theatre is, once again, putting on a theater camp for 8-16 year olds who have an interest in theater arts.
The four day camp will focus on working towards excellence in drama for the glory of God. Topics will include basic stage terminology, movement and speaking skills, listening and reacting to scene partners, and much more. Whether your student is new to the dramatic arts or has years of experience, this camp will offer opportunities to advance in the craft of acting. Registration opens May 4th. There are a limited number of spots available and registration will close when those spots are filled.
