SUMMER CONSERVATORY CAMP

Our Shakespeare Conservatory classes take place safely outside at the Bruns Amphitheater for grades 6-12. Students develop and improve their performing skills by studying with Bay Area experts in such areas as Acting, Voice, Movement, Text Analysis and more, all while rehearsing one of Shakespeare’s most beloved plays for a performance on the Bruns stage!

Reminder: Every camper will receive Two Complimentary Tickets to our September production of As You Like It!

STRUCTURE
Participants spend the morning playing and creating in a wide variety of theater disciplines, taught by working theater professionals. They then spend their afternoons in rehearsals, cultivating, crafting, and putting their newly-acquired skills to the test in fully-staged Shakespeare performances. The experience culminates in Shakespeare performances for family and friends at the end of the program on the famous Bruns stage.

EXPERIENCE
