Theatre Arts Intensive

for rising Grades 7 - 12

$225

This week-long camp continues to grow.  Last year,  our seventh and eight grade students presented an excerpt from the classic “The Wind in the Willows", and  “Azalea”, an original play by Samford alumnus Katrina Moore. Eight and ninth graders proved to us that even an apparent physical oddity can be beautiful through a thoughtful  play entitled “The Tragical Tale of Melissa McHiney McNormous McWhale”.   Our older students demonstrate audition skills and the performance rounded out  with stage combat demonstrations and musical selections from favorite shows  such as Rent and The Producers.

Students will delve deeper into the dramatic arts, work on monologues, acting styles, audition skills, makeup design, costume design, and produces more sophisticated plays for the end of week performance.  New this year is a musical theatre track, which will be placed by audition on the first day of the camp.

Classes are limited to 12 students per two teachers.  Teachers are current students or alumni of Samford and Samford faculty.
