HSAC Summer Kids Theatre Camp presents Disney's Beauty and the Beast Jr.

We are so excited to announce that this year our summer youth program doubled in size!

This summer at HSAC we have 62 campers putting up two different productions of Disney's Beauty and the Beast Jr.

With a staff of 10 accomplished college students and graduates we are up to the challenge! Remember to look back for updates on the production, pictures of the campers, and videos of complete production numbers!

During the first week of camp we learned how to audition, and we learned a dance number, the song "Be Our Guest" and we learned how to cold read.  At the end of the week we actually auditioned, and got cast in our roles!

Preview!

Hi HSAC Family and Friends! We are excited to share with you a preview of Honk Jr.!

We hope to see you all when we open next Friday (July 27th)!

Special Guest Speaker!

Last Monday at camp City Councilman David Pollack came to talk to the campers about being a child actor.  He brought a clip of him from the movie Bad News Bears (1976) to show the kids.  After the clip, the kids got to ask him, and Miss Lili (another child actor) about being in the "business" as children.

Mr. Ken facilitates the discussion.

Character Bios!

On Tuesday the campers learned about characterization.  They watched clips from different Johnny Depp movies and then talked about how he changes as each character.  Then they wrote character bios for the characters they are playing in Honk Jr.  Here are some shots of the kids writing their bios.

We hope that you all enjoyed your fourth of July!  We can't wait for you to see the show in three weeks! :)
