Act, sing, dance and shine, knowing that each and every role on the stage is the best one to get! Auditions are May 29 and July 1. Roles will be handed out that day. Please note that campers will need to attend each camp day of the section, as well as learn their lines, songs, and dance moves both at camp and at home. Do not sign up for this camp if you are going on vacation or will otherwise be unavailable!
