School's Out, Podcast Camp is On!
Your voice. Amplifed. Your story. Told
My Story, Your Story, Our Story - as heard on podcast!
Welcome to Podcast Camp! We have three awesome weeks planned for you of storytelling, writing, acting, creating sound effects, and preparing to share your story on stage to be recorded live at the Phipps Center for the Arts. Podcast camp takes place from noon to 3:00 PM from June 10th - 27th, Monday through Thursday. We'll be at the Zephyr Theatre which will be a great space from which to dream, scheme and video conference with super cool LA professionals. Lunch and snacks will be served for all. For those who need transportation, it will be provided. More details on that later in the week. In the meantime, check out these key camp details - and consider all the awesome local and Hollywood people involved!
