Camp Green Lake

$425

with Hunter Brown

Calendar Jun 20, 2023 at 9 am, runs for 2 weeks

Grades 9-12

Camp is back in session- but this time we’re heading to Camp Green Lake in Texas for our summer conservatory’s performance of Holes! Our fast-paced conservatory focuses on developing the skills and techniques of performance and will culminate in an open presentation of work. Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys’ detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the boys build character by spending all day, every day digging holes exactly five feet wide and five feet deep. There is no lake at Camp Green Lake. But there are an awful lot of holes. It doesn’t take long for Stanley to realize there’s more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. But what could be buried under a dried-up lake? Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment—and redemption.

Please note: this conservatory is held outside of our usual classroom area in the Casa del Prado. The conservatory will meet every day at the San Diego City College Blackbox Theatre. Please direct any questions to Camp Director Hannah Corder, or Education Director Elissa Russell.

Banned Books

$425

with Hunter Brown

Calendar Jul 10, 2023 at 9 am, runs for 2 weeks

Grades 7-12

What do the novels I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, Speak, The Catcher in the Rye, Fahrenheit 451 and The Handmaid’s Tale all have in common? These books have all been placed on the Banned Books list. There are many reasons why a book might be banned but there are even MORE reasons to share a censored story. Students will learn about some of the classics in literature and will collaborate as an ensemble to create their own script from those stories. During this fast-paced, two-week acting conservatory, students will learn to finesse skills in scene work, character development and devising.
