posible futuro fi nanciamiento por parte del STCCF, tanto

Families interested in apply-
ing for a scholarship will need
to complete an application,
which can be downloaded at
www.crowkids.com, by June 5.
Regular camp applications
are also due soon, with a dead-
line of June 10.
“CROW is preparing for its
fifth year of hosting education-
al summer theater camps, and
enrollment forms are starting to
come in every single day,” said
CROW
artistic
director
Melanie Heard. “This year’s
camps are going to be fast-
paced, fun, and highly creative,
so if you have been on the
fence about giving it a go,
now’s your chance.”
Heard stresses that camps
are a great way to dip your toe
into the water, without any
added pressure of a large scale
performance.
“Many kids have seen one or
more of our main-stage musi-
cals and thought that they
looked fun, but were nervous
about actually auditioning for
us,” said Heard. “This is the
perfect way to learn the ropes
in a low-stress atmosphere,
where you can meet new
friends and hone your skills.
Plus, CROW camps are a great
way for us to get to know you.”
This year’s first two-week
camp is titled “Musical Mix Up
Song and Dance Camp” and
will take place July 6-17, from
10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
During these fun and fast-
paced two weeks, campers will
learn several song and dance
routines from just about every
genre (rock, country, pop,
Disney, Broadway and more).
Make sure to sign up early;
Song and Dance camp is
almost always sold out.
The second camp will be
“Games, Games, Games!
Acting and Improv Camp,” and
will take place July 20–31,
from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
During these super fun two
weeks, campers will be
exposed to a multitude of silly,
creative and unique theater
games specially designed to
teach the skills that are needed
to become a well-rounded actor
or actress.
Also offered is an Advanced
Acting Camp, Aug. 3–14, dedi-
cated to older kids (ages 12-22)
who want to learn more com-
plex acting techniques.
The camp will focus on the
crucial performing arts skills
that today’s teens and young
adults need to become success-
ful in the world of the profes-
sional theater.
In order to attend this partic-
ular camp, kids must either
request an audition or receive a
formal invitation from one of
the directors.
All three camps will culmi-
nate in a free Professional
Showcase for families and
friends on the final day of
camp. On July 31, CROW will
reveal the name of its Spring
2016 musical, immediately fol-
lowing the Showcase.
The general public is wel-
come to attend these showcases
and the big “reveal.”
Camps will be held at the
Florence Playhouse, 208
Laurel St., in Old Town.
Once again, no audition is
necessary for the Acting and
Improv or Song and Dance
camps, but a deposit is required
to hold a space for your child to
attend any of the camps.
For more information or to
reserve your child’s spot, call
Melanie Heard at 541-999-
8641 or visit www.crowkids
.com.
Downloadable applications
are available on the CROW
website.
