Theatre Camps
A Week Long Intensive Exploring Theatre Arts
Dive deep into acting technique, singing, dancing and stagecraft and team building in a focused five-day program! Get ready to sharpen skills and take bold artistic steps.
I have created and led theatre day camps every summer since 2008. What began as a one week at a theatre has now expanded to a full summer schedule at several different theatres. Camps focus on introducing singing, dancing and acting techniques, stage craft and team building. The week long program culminates in a showcase for friends and family. Many of the alumni have gone on to top theatre college’s and several are now working professionally. This is a great program for students who are passionate about honing their skills and also those looking to improve confidence and make new friends.
My approach for the camps remains the same as in private lessons. It is my priority to create a safe and fun environment where students are comfortable stepping outside their box. I am diligent and kind. I also strive to find where everyone is at individually and raise the bar for them.
“We have had the pleasure of working with Andrew to provide youth theatre camps in Yarmouth for the past few years. Theatre camp helps to promote self-confidence, teaches social skills, and provides a much-needed sense of belonging for our youth.Andrew creates a safe space for youth to express themselves while teaching them to focus on what needs to be done to perform in a theatre setting.”
-Judy Snow, Executive Director of Th’YAR
“The drama and musical theatre camps at the Marigold Centre are a highlight of the summer! Andrew is so personable, fun, and naturally charismatic that the kids are instantly engaged and loving every minute. It’s no surprise that so many campers can't wait to return summer after summer."
-Summer Hudson, General Manager of the Marigold Cultural Centre
