SUMMER STAGES CAMP 2008
Brundage Park Playhouse proudly announces its 27th season of Summer Stages, a workshop for young performers ages 8–14. Our qualified staff will instruct students in acting, music, and dance. Students will also gain performance experience through participation in a different production each session. We offer five sessions consisting of (3) two-week sessions and (2) one-week sessions. Each session can accommodate a maximum of 3 groups, with 20 students in each group. This camp takes place at Brundage Park on Carrell Road. Students entering 7th grade or above in the 2008/2009 school year are eligible for our Advanced Performers Workshop, however, students must audition for this camp. Please call us at (973) 989-7092 for more information.
At the beginning of each session, students will be divided into groups where they will learn a song and simple movement, which will then be used to “audition” for the directors. After auditions, each student will then be assigned a role and placed in a cast.
Students in the two-week sessions will participate in acting, music, and dance workshops during one part of the day with the other half of the day dedicated to rehearsals for the show. Students involved in one-week sessions will have workshops, interspersed with rehearsals for their Friday performance, throughout the week.
Friday mornings of performance days, dress rehearsals will take place using costumes and props. Each group will have the opportunity to rehearse on the BPP stage. One-week sessions will conclude with a cabaret style performance, two-week sessions with a one act play.
What theatrical performance experience would be complete without an audience? At the end of each session we present a production for an audience of parents, relatives and friends. Performances will be held in the theatre each session’s final Friday afternoon at 12:00, 1:00 or 2:00, depending on the particular group’s scheduled time. Admission is free for these performances.
Sessions will run on the following dates:
Session 1: June 23 – July 3*
Session 2: July 7 – July 11
Session 3: July 14 – July 25*
Session 4: July 28 – August 1
Session 5: August 4 – August 15*
* These are two-week sessions.
Please try to schedule any personal appointments after camp time.
We cannot guarantee that friends will be in the same group.
All students must have completed 2nd grade or higher during the 2007/2008 school year.
Students should be dropped off at the theatre at
9:00 am. The theater is located in Brundage Park, on Carrell Road in Randolph. The program will begin promptly at 9:15 a.m.
Students must be picked up promptly at 3:00 inside the theatre. On performance date Fridays they may leave following their performance. Please park your car in the park parking lot and do not block the entrance into or out of the park. This is a safety concern.
