Cougar Theater Camp
Join us for Cougar Theater Camp, a two-week adventure in the performing arts! Campers will receive hands-on training in acting, music, and dance, and will learn to create props and bring a production to life. Under the guidance of Ashley Miller-Melton, SIUE alumna and the director of the Edwardsville High School drama department, participants will work with a team of five experienced teachers and eight enthusiastic counselors to explore every aspect of theater.
The camp culminates into a magical weekend of performances on stage, complete with costumes, scenery, lighting, and all the elements of a professional production. Each camper will experience the thrill of performing in front of an audience, showcasing their creativity and hard work.
Highlights:
- Over 80 hours of personalized instruction
- Daily activities in acting, music, dance, and prop-making
- A Cougar Theater Camp t-shirt
- The chance to perform in three fully staged performances
Whether your child is new to the stage or a budding star, Cougar Theater Camp promises a summer filled with learning, creativity, and fun. Don't miss the opportunity to let their imagination shine!
