Camp:
In this week-long summer camp, students will develop the skills needed to really stand out at an audition! They will practice cold readings, as well as prepare audition monologues. Students will also get the opportunity to work with multiple guest artists to prepare for singing and dancing audition segments for musicals. The camp will culminate in a final mock audition for a panel of theatre professionals who will provide feedback to students. All campers will receive a T-shirt which is included in the cost of tuition. This camp will be taught by HCT’s Education Director, Kelsey Kott. There are only fifteen spots available. (Ages 8 – 10)
About:
The Hickory Community Theatre had its humble beginning in 1948 when the Hickory Recreation Department employed Kay Johnson to form a theatre group. Her first offering was a series of radio dramas aired on WIRC. In 1949, informal meetings, encouraged by the Kramer family, led to the formation of what was then known as The Hickory Little Theatre. The HLT first production was an evening of one-act plays, so successful that the company presented its first full-length production, YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU in October in the auditorium at City Hall. The building has been the home of HCT ever since.
