Be dramatic . . . sing and dance all day! Campers, of all skill levels, begin by rotating through morning classes taught by our experienced teaching artists. MTC’s teaching artists include teachers from public/private schools, colleges and universities as well as professional performers. While students learn and improve theater-related skills in voice, dance, and acting, they also gain focus and discipline while exercising their mind and body. During afternoon rehearsals, students work toward their on-stage performance while building teamwork skills, a sense of accomplishment and self-esteem. Most of all, they have fun!
