Camp runs Monday - Friday from 10 AM to 5 PM with a Friday evening performance at 7 pm. Students should be dropped off no later than 10 AM and picked up by 5:00 PM. No student will be allowed to leave without a faculty member personally seeing a corresponding parent or guardian.
Throughout the week the students will take numerous classes, attend keynote presentations, and interact with other theatre students from the area. Students will leave at the end of the week with hands-on experience, growth in theatrical skills, and an opportunity to learn from some of Eastern Idaho’s finest professionals.
