NC Stage hosts two theatre production summer camps

North Carolina Stage Company recently announced plans to host two summer camps for varying ages of young producers.

The first runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday, from June 29 through July 10 and is for children ages 6-13. Children will learn theatre skills such as acting, voice, movement and stagecraft, culminating in a production of The Phantom Tollbooth. The camp is $500 and includes the two weeks of camp, the script, costumes and a souvenir T-shirt.

The second is for older children, ages 14-18, and runs three weeks from July 13 through Aug. 2, from noon to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. This camp has limited space, giving a chance for each student to receive more focused advice and a bigger role in the contemporary play at the end of the summer. It costs $750 for three weeks of camp, one weekend of production, a script, costumes and a camp T-shirt. The play for the advanced camp will be open to the public.

From NC Stage:
 
Camps are designed for elementary, middle, and high school students!
 
Asheville, NC—North Carolina Stage Company (NC Stage) is excited to announce two new summer camp programs where students will learn, grow, and have fun on stage.
 
NC Stage is offering a theatre production camp for students ages 6-13.  This camp culminates in a production of The Phantom Tollbooth at NC Stage for friends and family. These students will participate in workshops in acting, voice, movement, and stage craft with groups of students their own age.  Theatre production camp runs June 29th- July 10th, 2015.
 
A new advanced camp program is offered for students ages 14-18. Advanced camp students will work with a professional director to mount a full production over the course of three weeks.  There is very limited space in the advanced camp which ensures each student will get a speaking role that is challenging. The production will be a humorous, contemporary play and will run for a weekend. The performance will be open to the public along with NC Stage subscribers and fans. Advanced production camp runs July 13th- August 2nd, 2015.
  
Space is limited so secure your spot now.  A $100.00 non-refundable deposit is required to hold your space and the balance is due on or before the first day of camp.  Payment plans are available.
