Cincinnati Shakespeare Company Expands Popular Summer Camp Program to Include Grades 4 and 5

This summer Cincinnati Shakespeare Company continues its popular weeklong summer day camps for middle and high schoolers, with the all-new addition of a camp for students who have just completed fourth or fifth grade! Dates for summer 2017 are as follows:

June 5-9, 2017- Camp I for students who have completed grades 6 or 7

June 12-16, 2017- Camp II for students who have completed grades 8 or 9

June 19-23, 2017- Camp III for students who have completed grades 10, 11 or 12

NEW! June 26-30, 2017- Camp IV for students who have completed grades 4 or 5

Camp I includes classes in acting, combat, set and costume design, and movement. Students work together to create an original production of Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's DreaM. Camp II focuses on an intermediate study of Shakespeare, with additional classes in acting methods and stage combat. Camp III emphasizes an advanced study of acting techniques and Shakespeare's text. Students in both Camps II and III will perform in a selection of iconic scenes from Shakespeare's comedies, histories, and romances.

This summer features the brand-new Camp IV. Elementary students will be immersed in the early fundamentals of theatre and of Shakespeare with beginning activities in acting, voice, stage combat, set & costume design and much more, all led by professional theatre artists.

Past students have raved about summer camp with Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, saying "I look forward to camp all year. The classes, the words, the friends, and the instructors make this camp a magical place" and "I come out of [camp] feeling 500% happier and 500% better about myself. It's the best summer camp I've ever done."

Parents have said "This is the MOST excited my son has been for a summer camp EVER. He loved going every day," and "Everything about this camp was well organized- from the communication with parents about everything a parent could think of to the daily schedule of activities for our kids, to the final performance. Thank you for providing such a supportive, educational, fun and creative experience for my daughter!"

Performances for friends and family will be held on Friday nights of each camp week. Camps I, II, and III will be held at Xavier University, while Camp IV will be held at The School for Creative and Performing Arts.

Each week of camp is priced at $275 for the week with payment required at registration to hold a student's spot.
