Lake Worth Playhouse to Offer Summer Camps

The Lake Worth Playhouse will be kicking summer into high gear as the focus of programming turns to center on children with summer camps.

Campers will learn acting, voice, dance and stage movement through daily activities and rehearsals, which culminate in full-scale productions of popular musicals including 101 Dalmatians Kids and Fame Jr. 

"Summer production camps are the best way to introduce youth to performing arts. Not only do they get to perform live on stage in popular musicals, they create lasting friendships and gain self-confidence regardless of their previous experience in acting, singing, and dancing. I know this from first-hand experience-it was how I was introduced to theatre-and year after year, the shyest kids on the first day are the ones that are the biggest hams in the production," says HavreDe Hill, Education Director.

Campers will be engaged in studio-style rehearsals for music, dance and production. Campers 12 and older will also have the opportunity to participate in behind-the-scenes roles and other theatre-related educational opportunities including internships and apprenticeships directly under industry professionals.

Camp opportunities include three week camp and one week camp experiences:
