Kids can learn theatre and film during March break at the Capitol Theatre

Calling all aspiring actors and theatre performers! The St. Clair College Capitol Theatre has announced a fun, fast-paced, educational March break camp dedicated to the magic of theatre and film.  

This program is a celebration of fun, creativity and imagination. Led by industry professionals, Megan Nuttall and Rachel Schwarz, this one-of-a-kind camp offers an opportunity for young performers to learn all about the basics of acting for film and television. Campers will be introduced to the basics of musical theatre and performing and auditioning for film and television. Instructors will focus on enhancing students’ individual talents through scene study, on-camera techniques, mock commercial auditions and improvisation. Young performers will learn, explore and grow in a safe, fun environment.  

Students will enjoy exciting, hands-on participation in all aspects of the magic and creativity of the performing arts. They’ll write, perform and direct scenes, and each student will take home a DVD of all on-camera work and performances. Spaces are limited in this unique March break camp. Register today to guarantee your budding performer an unforgettable March break experience.

The camp runs from March 10 to March 14 (Monday to Friday) from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Early drop-off and late pick-up are available for an extra fee. The cost of the 5-day camp is $175 inclusive, per child. Children should bring their own lunch and snacks.
