Where will kids adventure to this summer in Academy SRT’s Imagination Machine? Wherever they can imagine! In this camp, kids will dream up their own original play where they can explore worlds from caveman times to the future, superhero lands to enchanted forests and seas. Wherever their imagination takes us, young actors will thrive creatively as they write characters to play and build confidence as they develop the talent to bring a show to life! Kids will build teamwork skills as they work together to learn how stagecraft, costume design, lighting and sound will amaze their audiences in two public performances on stage at Southern Rep!
ACTING ROLES for KIDS Ages 6-12: Children will become an inspired cast of characters as they learn the play process from audition to performance on stage in a professional theatre!
INTERNSHIPS for TEENS Ages 13-18: Leadership opportunities are available for teens interested in working creatively as a team.
