Drama Daze is a five-day musical theatre camp for rising 4th - 9th graders, designed to promote confidence, imagination, teamwork and self confidence. We will focus on telling stories via art, song, dance and acting. Students will attend music, dance, acting and art classes each day, led by professional teachers. Students will collaborate, problem-solve and have fun, while learning new skills, making new friends, and preparing a showcase performance on the final day.
This year's camp features music from Berry's upcoming fall musical, Seussical the Musical.
Camp dates are June 14-18, from 10 am to 3:00 pm daily. On Friday, June 18, students will stay after camp to do final preparation for a showcase performance held that evening at 4:30 pm.
Tuition is $185 for the week, which includes a camp Tshirt, art supplies, and pizza on Friday. Students will bring their own lunches each day, and should bring a bottle of water, and a small amount of cash for the ice cream truck. Students may be asked to bring some props and simple costume pieces.
Upon completion of this form, you will receive an email confirmation with details about submitting your tuition fee. Tuition is $185 which includes camp Tshirt.
