All Star Players Summer Theatre Camp

Sponsored by: M & T Bank and Weis Markets
Working with an original short play, The Culling, written by playwright and teacher Brenda Fager, teen actors (and those interested in the technical side of theatre) will discover the importance of SETTING – where the story takes place – while also learning the basics of acting: character (WHO you are on stage), blocking (WHERE you are on stage), and motivation (WHY you are on stage). Using acting exercises and theatre games, cleverly disguised to grow their acting skills, they’ll have the opportunity for a short performance by the end of the week.
