CASTSummer is a fun filled six week, full day performing arts camp for incoming 5th through 8th graders. The camp is held at Julian Middle School in Oak Park. Camp runs Monday through Friday from 9:30am-3:00pm. There is also a "precamp" option for students who would like to arrive at 9:00am.

 

      Students have the option of selecting either "Performance" or "Stagecrew". Mornings are spent in a series of 3 different classes, Movement, Acting and Stagecraft.  In the afternoons, students who select to be in "Performance" will go to their specific rehearsals. "Stagecrew" students will spend the afternoons in the shop, building and working on the different sets. Students who select "Performance" will need to prepare a one minute memorized monologue.  Auditions will be held the first 2 days of camp.
