MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – A two-week acting camp that will give young people an experience with theater and drama takes place in Middletown next month.

The camp runs 9 a.m. to noon, Mondays through Fridays, June 10-14 and June 17-24.

The acting camp is open to students ages 6 to 13. Healthy snacks will be provided.

The cost is $200 per child.

“Acting builds confidence, self-esteem, and helps discover new talents. That, plus it’s a lot of fun,” said camp director Jessica Sage.

Sage has been teaching acting as well as directing theater for 17 years. She hopes this camp will be a place for young people to be expressive, creative, and spontaneous in a noncompetitive environment.

“Young people need a healthy and safe way to express themselves,” Sage said. “Creating characters allows them to do that.”

Campers will have the full experience of putting on a show – everything from learning lines to performing in front of an audience.

They will rehearse a play, “The Not So Grimm Fairy Tales,” and perform on the last day of camp.  

All campers will have their own parts in this spirited and funny tale. Children also will play improvisation games, have daily talent shows and learn vocal skills.

Campers will perform for invited friends and family on the last day of camp at 11 a.m., followed by a cast party.
