DFAC On Stage THEATER CAMP
for kids ages 8 to 14

Program Facts

This camp gives young artists the chance to create theatre from the ground up! Participants explore performance through creative games and exercises, working together as an ensemble to produce an original piece complete with song and dance. With tryouts, daily parts development and daily parctice, campers learn the value of their own ideas and abilities as well as effective physical and vocal techniques. Each week of themed dramatics culminates in a celebratory performance showcasing campers’ diligence and ingenuity.
Inspiration for each week’s theme development will come from instructors, young actors imagination, books/stories, Broadway Plays, movies and TV shows/cartoons/animations.

Currently Online Registration is NOT available for our Summer Camps. Please print out the registration form and mail or FAX it to us. You can ALSO register by phone or in person.
