HOW TO EAT LIKE A CHILD
And Other Lessons in Not Being a Grown-Up

This play gives each child the opportunity to be in the spotlight.  Every child will experience singing a solo, performing group numbers, acting out lines, and working as a team.  In addition, we will take a professional head shot of each student and provide an 8x10 photo for use at future auditions.  We will also meet individually with each camper ahead of time to meet their personality and assign them a role.  Scripts and CD's will be provided prior to camp, so students can become familiar with them before camp begins.
