Here is the latest theater news about our 3 wonderful summer camps for ages 5-16  (we can also take age 4, in some circumstances)

YEP, IT'S CAMP PLANNING TIME

and we're going to Oz in June, Neverland in July, & Wonderland in August!

TIme to plan for Happy Show Biz Summer 2011!

√ EVERY ACTOR HAS LINES
√ EVERY ACTOR DANCES
√ EVERY ACTOR CHOOSES THEIR OWN PART
√ EVERY ACTOR IN TELEVISED PERFORMANCE
√ NO COSTUME FEE! COSTUMES ARE PROVIDED


Summer is knocking, yep, really!... and Theater Camp registration for summer 2011 has begun. Our wonderful choreographer Caree will be back with us doing those awesome, challenging dances. Again this year we will have some twenty teenaged counselors who themselves grew up in the camp. 
***=QUICK NOTE***
School ending and beginning schedules are REALLY different this year from school to school.
SO...

The "June" Camp will begin on Wednesday, May 25, the first day after public schools close, BUT if your child ends school later, JUST NOTE ON THE FORM WHEN THAT CHILD WILL BE ABLE TO BEGIN CAMP and we will take care of it, which includes sending you via advance email all of the camp materials, INCLUDING cast parts choice list AND the script.
 
NOTE ABOUT AUGUST AND SCHOOLS STARTING
The August camp often comes right up against some schools starting, SO, as has been our tradition, we can have the dress rehearsal for that show on THURSDAY, August 11, IF THIS YEAR SCHOOL STARTS ON THE 12th (that information will be sent out by the school board in March), Thus IF THAT HAPPENS, children who need to go to school on Friday the 12th can do so. However there will be camp on Friday for those who wish to attend. THEN the shows will go on as planned Friday night and the rest of the weekend, including OF COURSE the cast party after the Sunday matinee on the 14th.
NOTE:  None of this will be  a concern and show goes on as normal if school starts after camp ends.

now for your regular information--
As always, we will have our june and august camps at Playmakers.
and
We will also have the ONE-WEEK full show camp in JULY on the BIG stage at the Greater Covington Center. We have not been able to have performance-producing camps at Playmakers in july because of the great Playmakers summer musicals, which take all of july (this year that musical is Rent, directed by Larry Gray. That show is already being cast and I highly recommend that you get there to see it during mid and late july.

Meanwhile...
The Summer Theater Program will have a one-week, full production show camp right in downtown Covington during the run of the musical at Playmakers!
that show will have our full staff and will be in the NEWLY, FANTASTICALLY REBUILT, OPULENT FUHRMANN AUDITORIUM which has a professional theater setup now (including a first-class backstage area) and is wonderful!

 meanwhile....
BELOW is  the basic information you will need to get registered for any or all of the 3 camps, followed by an easy print and mail form at the end of the email:
