CAMP INFORMATION

REGISTRATIONS ARE NOW FULL FOR

KVTA'S 2024 YOUTH SUMMER THEATRE!

KVTA's 2024 Youth Summer Theatre Camp presents RAISE YOUR VOICE, a Broadway Junior Musical Revue from Music Theatre International! Every camper will be a part of this musical revue which is inspired by and features songs from Broadway Junior favorites such as Oliver, Fiddler on the Roof, Music Man, Sister Act, Aladdin, and many more.

We're looking for campers, interns, and volunteers to join our theatre family and have a fabulous theatre camp experience. We will be putting on a fun show with choreography, group numbers, and even some solo/small ensemble opportunities as well as learning theatre skills. Space is limited to 25 campers in each time slot and each session usually fills up right away. So don't delay, sign up today!!

PLEASE NOTE: On Friday, June 21, BOTH sessions will come together from 9am to 3 pm. On that day, we will have two guest speakers. One will teach improv, and one will teach about professions in theatre. We will have a pizza party for lunch.

CAMP INTERN INFORMATION:

KVTA will be looking to use interns for our summer camp. Interns will assist in ALL aspects of the camp and the performances. Interns can work with us during the day and still be able to have their evenings free. Our interns will get hands-on learning experience and serve as a mentor and role model for our young campers.

CAMP VOLUNTEER INFORMATION:

Running a theatre camp and putting on a performance requires many people. We are looking for volunteers to assist with one or both camps. We need parents/adults who can help us one day or every day during camp. Volunteers help with kid patrol, costumes, make-up, props, set construction/decorating, stage crew, etc.
