June 12-Aug. 4, Ages 6-14
(SARASOTA, FLA) — Asolo Repertory Theatre’s Education & Engagement team announces an exciting lineup of creative camps for young artists ages 6 to 14 this summer. The weeklong sessions run June 12 through Aug. 4, and each week of camp brings a new and exciting theme, so campers can choose to attend more than one session. Campers can also attend partial weeks, choosing their own adventure by picking which days they’d like to attend. Participants of all experience levels will have the opportunity to blossom and hone their theatrical skills in a creative, playful and welcoming environment. No experience necessary – theatre is for everyone!
