Session 5, July 6-10 2026

"What even IS directing," you're asking yourself. In this camp, we set out to answer that question as we focus on the various facets of directing a show. From script analysis, to staging and blocking, to collaborating with actors and designers, we'll untangle the many duties that a director is tasked with. In this process-oriented workshop, students will serve as both actors and directors to help bring each other's visions to life.

These camps are geared towards students who want a faster paced "rehearsal & performance" experience. Classes will primarily emphasize acting, though other theatrical elements (playwriting, movement, auditioning, etc) may be included.

Welcome to Tech Camp! This course gives students a hands-on introduction to Technical Theatre. In this camp, we’ll get our hands dirty while learning tool safety, painting techniques, Foley sound effects, and stage management. To prepare, please come to class dressed appropriately. Wear clothes you can move around in (no baggy clothing) and that can get messy or have paint on them. You must also wear closed-toe shoes—no Crocs or slip-ons. A great choice for teens with an interest in backstage work and fully rounding out their theatrical experience!

***Students should come to camp with a sack lunch and two extra snacks. For the safety of all students, we have a closed classroom policy. Adults are not permitted to sit in on JT camps until our invited Open Sharing on the final day of camp.***
