A2CT’S SUMMER ACTING CAMPS

Ann Arbor Civic Theatre announces a series of acting camps and workshops for youth and adults. All camps and workshops take place at the A2CT rehearsal studio, 322 W. Ann St., near downtown Ann Arbor. Those interested may register online at www.a2ct.org, by phone at 971-2228 or in person at the A2CT office, 322 W. Ann St.

The Summer Acting Workshop, for ages 16 and up, will take place on Saturdays from 1 pm-3:30 pm July 8-August 19. Taught by veteran actor and director Glenn Bugala, this workshop will cover acting basics, scene analysis, character development, and tips on getting involved in the local theater community. Everyone from beginners to advanced actors is welcome to attend. Fee is $135 per person in advance, and students are encouraged but not required to purchase the book The Practical Handbook for the Actor, available at Amazon.

Two youth acting camps will also be offered this summer, both led by local children’s theater director Val Wilkinson. Introduction to Theater is a beginning acting course for kids in grades K-3, and runs M-F, August 21-25 from 10am-noon each day. The camp will consist of theater games, improvisation, and an introduction to basic stage directions and terms. No previous acting experience is required. Actor’s Intensive is for young actors in grades 6-12, and runs M-F, August 21-25 from 1pm-4pm each day. This camp will focus on scene work and character development. Actors interested in this camp should have been in at least one play or have taken at least one acting class before signing up for this camp. The fee for both youth camps is $120, and scholarships are available.
