Acting Camp! Non-musical! Small classes! Big results! Ages 10 - 15. August 7th - 11th.

We do camp differently!! Our past students lloved their week at Third Space Theatre!

1. We keep our class sizes VERY SMALL - capping at 12 students a week.

2. We give each student a great role with significant lines.

3. We focus entirely on expanding each student's acting abilities.
Each student will receive individualized training daily in areas like
character development, diction, and performance technique.

4. We perform plays - not musicals - so even if you can't sing, you'll still have a great part!

5. Our sets and costumes are minimal - the goal each week is to focus on strengthening the actor.

6. At the end of the week, the students will perform a 1-Act play to
showcase all that they have learned.

7. Each week is filled with fun games, and lots of hard work (which is still fun because we love acting)!

​The students will come away EMPOWERED!
