Students will learn acting skills, starting at the beginning (a quick review for those more advanced) and then leading into advanced acting exercises.  The day is broken up into acting lessons, improv games, play rehearsal, and other theatre lessons like: costume design, scenic painting, and directing, with the majority of the time being spent on play rehearsal. All students will receive a role in the play, with auditions taking place on the first day of camp. Camp concludes with a fully-mounted production of a comedic play in a real professional theatre, complete with lights, sound, set, and costumes. Students are also able to sign up for an optional apprenticeship to help with the costumes, set, props, stage management, and directing for the show.  

Students will together form a band and select songs for a rock concert to be performed for live at the conclusion of the camp.  The average camp day will consist of learning songs and rehearsing for the concert.  Musicians are required to have taken some instrument lessons prior, in either piano/keyboard, drums, bass, or guitar.  Singers are also welcome to sign up for the camp even if they don't have any stage experience and don't play an instrument.  Songs are chosen by the students and in the past have come from an array of genres: classic rock, alternative, pop, and even musical theatre (i.e. students do not have to be into rock music to sign up!) 

Students will learn the fundamentals of acting, play theatre and improv games, and rehearse a play to be performed live on the last day of camp.  Students of all experience levels are welcome as the instructors work with students individually on building their acting skills based on where they're at at the start of camp. All students will receive a role in the play with casting occurring on the 1st and 2nd camp of camp. The performance will be a fully-mounted production of a fairy-tale play and take place in a real professional theatre, complete with lights, sound, set, and costumes.   

Students will learn about acting, singing, dancing and perform in a Broadway musical to conclude the camp.  The camp day will consist of musical vocal lessons/warm ups, music/singing rehearsal, scene rehearsal/blocking, dance rehearsal, acting lessons, improv games, and other theatre lessons like costume design, directing and character analysis/exercises. This camp is longer than our other sessions to accommodate for additional time needed for music and choreography to prepare for the performance.  The musical performance will be a fully-mounted production in a real professional theatre, complete with a live band, costumes, lights, set, and props.  It is taught by our music director, 2 play directors, and a choreographer.

Students will learn acting skills and exercises, play theatre and improv games, and prepare for a performance.  Reading is not required in this camp for younger students.  This is a shorter camp meant as an introduction to theatre, and has a less-formal performance than "First Spotlight".  

Students will play the classic role playing game, Dungeons & Dragons, in a fantasy campaign lead by an expert game master.  Role-playing games like this build acting skills through collaborative story-telling, and encourage teamwork, building social skills, self-expression, and imagination, all skills important in theatre.  Students are welcome to sign up regardless of if they have played the game prior, as camp will begin with a tutorial and character workshop for those who are new.  Each session is limited to 8 students (as that is how many can participate in a game together), and will likely fill, to register early. Troubadour Theatre is an approved D&D Educator with Wizards of the Coast.
