Intensives for Students Aged 9 to 13
 Stories on Stage
July 9-13, 2012 (9am-3pm)
Ages 9-13
This camp will be a true test of your improv and performing abilities! You will grow as an actor as you create an entire production of Story Theatre and Story Improv for pre-school and kindergarten audiences to attend by the end of the week! We’ll perform stories, poems, alphabet games and even improv the young audience’s stories for them. You will gain character, improv, voice and performance skills as you bring favorite stories to life, and turn the ‘page into stage’. We will also perform our Story Theatre Production piece for your family, friends and the younger campers on Friday afternoon. Note to Actors: please also bring in favorite children’s books, fables, poetry, etc that you think might work onstage. Note to Families: we would welcome volunteers to help with our pre-school audiences. If you are able to “greet and seat” or help with the workshop, please let us know. These performances are part of Drama Studio’s outreach program to children at risk in Springfield, and are a great way to have our actors be significant role models.
July 9-13, 2012 (9am-3pm) Ages 9-13 $225

Here’s your chance to be part of the Drama Studio’s longest-running production intensive, where we’ll stage a complete full-length melodrama with dastardly villains, faithful heroes and heroines, and perhaps a damsel in distress! Past productions have included daring train-track rescues, fierce battles, charming orphans, and saving the day in the nick of time! Audiences will cheer the heroes and boo the villains as you present this year’s melodrama, complete with full costumes, scenery, make-up and even some song and dance. You’ll strengthen your acting, improvisation and character-building skills and gain production experience in Summer Scene: Melodrama. This camp also includes opportunities for actors to write and stage their own original scenes, monologues and dances. July 16-27 (9am-3pm) Ages 9-12 $425
