Bay Street Theater to Offer April School Vacation Theater Camp

Bay Street Theater & Sag Harbor Center for the Arts is pleased to announce MY LIFE: THE MUSICAL, APRIL SCHOOL VACATION THEATER CAMP, April 25 - 29 at Bay Street Theater. The camp is for ages 8-12 and runs 9 am to 3 pm each day of the week-long camp. The camps will be taught by Bethany Dellapolla. Bay Street encourages parents to book now before prices go up and this camp is full. The cost is $385 for the week per child.

The five-day camp includes instruction in acting, singing, dance, performance, and musical theater history. Additionally, there are fun, creative theater games and improvisations to help develop theater skills and encourage students to stretch their abilities as young actors. Students will learn standard songs and choreography, and are encouraged to create their own original work. The camp culminates in a performance on the Bay Street Mainstage on Friday for friends and family.

Bethany is thrilled to be back at Bay Street! She is an actress herself, who also teaches, choreographs, and directs various theater camps, productions, and classes throughout the island and Manhattan (ages 4 to adult)! Teaching and coaching credits include: Broadway Dance Center (Children/Teen - Triple Threat Program), TADA! Youth Theatre (Director/Choreographer - NYC), Pierson Middle School (Resident Choreographer), The Art Farm (Drama and Music Specialist), and Gateway Playhouse (Acting Faculty - 4 years running). Her students have gone on to receive roles and book call backs for many professional productions, including Broadway/Regional Theater, Television, and Film. She has also been lucky enough to direct and/or choreograph many shows for adults and children, such as "Godspell", "Charlotte's Web", "Really Rosie", "Willy Wonka," "Aladdin Jr.," "Shrek," "13: The Musical", "Fame!", "Anything Goes", "Working", "Oklahoma Jr!", "A Year with Frog and Toad", "The World Goes 'Round", and different cabaret/variety shows. She loves encouraging/cultivating creativity, individuality, self confidence, and hard work in all her students, and feels very lucky to be doing what she does! Onstage, Bethany also continues to audition/perform regularly. Favorite regional credits include: The Tempest (Iris/Boatswain), Love, Loss, and What I Wore (Broadwayworld.com Nomination - Best Actress), The Graduate (Elaine Robinson), Cabaret (Frenchie), The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee (Olive Ostrovsky), Ruthless!
