BRIEF CAMP DESCRIPTION: Summer on Stage at Delaware Theatre Company is a full-day theatre camp for ages 8-15. Campers take part in age-appropriate classes in acting, improvisation, stagecraft, movement, and voice, and work with a director to create and rehearse original plays which they perform on the DTC stage at the end of the session. Campers contribute ideas for original plays, then once scripted by a director, rehearse and perform the plays in a public performance the night before each session ends.
CAMP INSTRUCTIONAL ACTIVITIES OFFERED:
Fine Arts/Crafts, Dance, Theater, and more. Acting, Improvisation, Dance & Movement, Voice, & Stagecraft Projects.
CAMP LOCATION: Wilmington, Delaware on the revitalized Wilmington Riverfront, with convenient free parking. We are three blocks from the Amtrak/Septa station, and 30 minutes south of Philadelphia.
CAMP FACILITIES: We have a 389-seat theatre with a full proscenium stage and wings and state-of-the-art lighting and sound. We have a large rehearsal hall, a meeting room/classroom space, a scene shop, and dressing rooms.
CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Summer on Stage has been operating for over 30 years. Our staff is comprised of experienced and highly skilled professional theatre performers, directors, and designers, as well as certified teachers.* Our curriculum and assessments are linked to the National Core Arts standards. Our program is student-centered, with a "process over product" philosophy that acknowledges each camper's unique talents and experience and supports each camper's growth in a cooperative rather than a competitive environment. Everyone gets a part in the play because the plays are original works that are germinated in collaborative workshops, then scripted by the directors to allow individual performers a chance to grow and shine! *All staff members have undergone successful background checks.
Each session is three weeks long: Session 1= June 20-July 7, 2023 (no camp June 19 or July 4); and Session 2= July 10-July 28, 2023. This friendly, welcoming camp is great for both beginning performers and those who have experience! Taught by professional theatre artists and educators, Summer on Stage offers a warm, supportive environment for each individual camper to learn and grow while providing campers with artistic tools and guidance in a professional theatre setting! Extended care (morning and afternoon) is available for an additional fee.
