“The
Grunch”, tells the story of Rudy Grunch, a grumpy 5th grader who always
feels like an outsider. When the entire school gets excited about the
annual School Musical, he comes up with a perfect plan to ruin it for
everyone. He steals the sets, costumes, and lights the night before it
opens. But will the spirit of theater prevail?
This performance-based camp will focus
on all the skills needed for a working theater production, alongside
professional teaching artists who provide real-world training. All
campers will have a part in the show which will be on our Mainstage, two
ticketed evening performance, their pic & bio in the program and a
camp t-shirt! Campers will not only learn how to perform in this show,
but also be educated along the way with the skills needed to be in any
production. The best part is that this all builds self-confidence,
skills and grows new friendships at the same time.
Performance Academy 1 & 2 will
start each day in their own age group, learning & practicing the
skills they need to be a “triple threat”. In the second half of each
day, campers will work together as an ensemble to bring their musical
performance to life.
A simultaneous Tech & Production Camp will be offered for students ages 12-16 interested in learning the technical, behind-the-scenes aspects of theater. They will be taught by instructors experienced in this field and learn about lighting, set design and construction, props, working backstage, etc.
Culminates with two performances for family, friends and the public on July 21st and 22nd at 6PM. Early Bird discounts available. Visit https://fhtaz.org or call 480-837-9661 x3.
