DO NOT PUBLISH Online Camp: For the Love of Books-Musical Theater and Book Arts

Love a good story? Entranced by books? Then this is the camp for you! You will be exploring a variety of writing styles including short fiction, poetry, and playwriting and make our own books, delving into such styles as pop-ups, altered books, and more! Then, through drama, music, and movement, you will grow in confidence and creative expression while singing and acting. This is a great camp for the budding writer and actor. 

Online Camp will be an immersive, online experience to get creative from the comfort and safey of your home. This camp will be both a one-on-one experience with our teaching artists and a great opportunity to connect with other students with similar interest.
