Summer Acting Camps
The Conservatory’s acting program has a goal to be both fun and non-judgmental while introducing concepts designed for a professional-level actor. The curriculum is centered around a collaboration of several years of professional, university, and children’s theatre expertise of the drama department’s faculty. The program is skill-based vs. production-based, and progresses throughout the summer to higher gradients of skill-level and practice.
