learn several song and dance
routines from different genres,
like rock, country, pop,
Disney, Broadway and more.
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.
