Director Heard said, “Make sure to sign up early, as Song and Dance camp is almost always sold out.” The second camp is called “Games, Games, Games Acting and Improv Camp” and will take place July 20 to July 31 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. During these fun two weeks, campers will be exposed to a multitude of the- ater games specially designed to teach the skills that are needed to become a well- rounded actor or actress. Utilizing everything from Viola Spolin-style improv games to ridiculous tongue- twisters and obstacle courses, this camp will help kids learn how to act, and have a blast doing it. No audition is necessary for the “Acting and Improv” or “Song and Dance” camps. Both two-week camps will culminate in a free Professional Showcase for families and friends on the final day of each camp. On Friday, July 31, CROW will reveal the name of their Spring 2016 musical, immedi- ately following the Showcase. The general public is wel- come to attend these showcas- es and the big “reveal.” “Until then ... shhhh. It’s a secret,” said Heard. Also offered is an Advanced Acting Camp from August 3 to 14. This camp is dedicated to older kids ages 12 to 22 who want to learn more complex acting tech- niques. This camp will focus on the crucial performing arts skills that today’s teens and young adults need to become successful in the world of pro- fessional theater. Advanced campers will work on short scenes, improv- isational games, character development and enrichment, comedic and dramatic acting techniques, utilization of sense memory and much more. In order to attend this par- ticular camp, kids must either request an audition or receive a formal invitation from one of the directors. Please ask for more infor- mation. CROW also offers limited financial-need scholarships. Scholarship applications must be in no later than Friday, June 5 and are avail- able at www.crowkids.com. Last year, CROW awarded over $4000 in scholarship funds. Camps will be held at the Florence Playhouse at 208 Laurel St. in Old Town. Please note: Camp applica- tions must be in by early June in order to guarantee a space, and CROW camps are always full. A deposit is required to hold a space for your child to attend any of the camps.
