Theatre Workshop

July 19–31, 2010

Come to BYU and dive into the world of theatre! Theatre Workshop will be one of the greatest opportunities you will ever have to immerse yourself in the theatre experience in the great atmosphere only BYU can offer. You will work hard, learn a lot, and make new friends with similar dreams, goals, and standards.

Theatre Camp is for beginning, intermediate, and seasoned high school actors who love to learn and want to build their theatre skills through classroom and hands-on instruction in master classes, specialty workshops, and rehearsals.

Gain new skills and improve on your current ones as you learn from our talented instructors and acting professionals. Work on your vocal and performance technique in music class. Relieve stress as you punch, hit, and kick in stage combat class. Grow in strength and confidence as you master your dance skills in movement class. Become a Bible character in acting class. Most master classes will incorporate material and techniques to prepare for the show Children of Eden (music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz, songwriter for Wicked).

Specialty workshops and activities this year may include auditioning, the world of Shakespeare, the BYU Theatre program, film acting, improv, dialects, stage makeup, and costumes.

Join us for an intense two weeks as you attend classes and rehearse and perform the play Children of Eden.   Theatre Workshop begins on Monday morning, and after orientation and lunch, you’ll jump right into auditions to place you in rehearsal groups—and then the fun really starts!

Theatre Workshop has limited enrollment, so be sure to register soon.
