The program will focus on acting, character analysis, speaking skills, stage techniques, costume design, set construction and Renaissance music & dance.  All students will perform the chosen scene, as a culminating activity, on the last Friday of the theatre camp week.  All students will also have the chance to perform their dance on opening night of the 7^th annual, Shakespeare- in-the-Park show, The Tempest, on Thursday, 8/13/09 @ 5:30 pm in Thornden Park’s Amphitheatre.  SCSD teachers, Michelle Monsour and Ronald Bell, are eager to co-teach the camp again as they have, with great success, for the past two years.

 

The tuition for these camps, including snacks and supplies is only $100, about $4 per class hour.  We have been able to keep the cost low due to the generous support from sponsors such as the Syracuse Teachers Association (STA) and funders such as The John Ben Snow Foundation.  A completed application and a check payable to SSF will reserve your child a place in the class; first come, first served.  Fees may be waived at the discretion of the SSF Board of Directors, based on need, upon application for a campership.  All participants must bring their own lunch and provide their own transportation.

 

Students are asked to contact SSF as soon as possible because our openings go very fast.
