Shakespeare Camp: King Lear in the Wild West

Performance:

This unique experience is a week-long theatre day camp in which students in Kindergarten through 12th grade explore the exciting world of William Shakespeare and his times. Then they participate in a production of one of his plays! Using Shakespeare as a guide, participants learn more about acting, auditioning skills, costumes, scenery, how to memorize, mask making, lights, make-up, becoming a character on the stage, and working as an ensemble. These are key elements to becoming a better performer (and it can help with English classes, too).

About: 

What began as a small theatre company with two productions per season has grown into one of the region’s most vibrant community theatres. Since its founding in 1987, The Green Room Community Theatre has served as a cultural hub for Catawba and surrounding counties, bringing live theatre to audiences of all ages and providing educational opportunities for aspiring performers. As the 38th season draws to a close, the theatre remains committed to its mission of making the arts accessible, fostering creativity, and strengthening the local community.
