ArtQuest
Camp Weeks - July 8-12, July 15-19, July 22-26​
​
ArtQuest is a THREE WEEK, FULL DAY performing arts program that offers campers the opportunity to engage and perform in a musical theatre production. The daily schedule includes instruction in many aspects of musical theatre: physical/vocal/acting warm ups, singing, acting, dancing, set making, props, theatre decor, lighting and costumes. Our director has 25+ years of experience in the performing arts as a performer, teacher, as well as a director. This will be her eleventh summer returning to ArtQuest. The staff strives to instill effective technique, fun, discipline, teamwork and confidence (for life) in each camper in a non-competitive environment. During the three weeks, campers become a theatre family! This program is perfect for actors of all levels, hobbyists, as well as those who wish to pursue a career in the arts. This summer, ArtQuest will be producing The Wizard of Oz: Youth Edition for your performers entering grades 3rd through 9th in the fall!
Important Notes: Parents, please send refillable water bottle, nut-free snack and nut-free lunch in with your camper each day. Campers should wear loose, comfortable clothing with fully enclosed, flat sneakers. Campers may also bring in a smock for the art portion of camp. We will be forming a Parent Volunteer Crew to assist us after the Friday Show!
Performance Days: Thursday, July 25th Full Dress Rehearsal at 1:30pm and Show at 7:00pm
Friday, July 26th Show at 4:00pm with a Clean-Up and Cast Party immediately following!

Join Dorothy and her loyal companion Toto as they “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” through the Land of Oz, determined to reach the Emerald City, where the great and powerful Wizard of Oz will help them get home. Their journey to happiness – and self-awareness – is a glowing testament to friendship, understanding, and hope in a world filled with both beauty and ugliness.
