 MCT Summer Theatre Camp            July 13-17, 2009

Matchbox Children’s Theatre in Austin, MN is now accepting applications for their Summer Theatre Camp.  Even if you have acted in one play, or several plays, there is still so much more that is involved in putting on a play then just acting!  The MCT Theatre Camp will focus on all aspects of live stage theatre, from acting to learning about all of the “behind the scenes” workings and people.  Campers will also learn about the process of putting on a play from before auditions to after the performances.  Campers will be exposed to musical theatre, choreography, lighting and technical design, directing, stage managing, costuming, and make-up.  The conclusion of the camp includes a Friday afternoon performance of camper written and directed skits at the Historic Paramount Theatre.  The camp begins Monday, July 13 and ends on Friday, July 17.  The camp will be held at Christ Episcopal Church in Austin and will run from 9:00am until 12:00pm.  The cost is $25.00.  To register for the camp please e-mail Cindy at: cindybellrichard@charter.net.   The deadline for registrations is July 1st, 2009.
