7th Annual Youth Acting Camp & Production of "Tom & Huck!" - Brooklyn, NY

ACT-OUT! Acting School proudly announces Our Seventh Annual Youth Summer Camp and Production of "Tom & Huck!" The Story of Tom Sawyer & Huckleberry Finn (all roles in "Tom & Huck!" are open, and may be cast to actors of any age 3-18, any race, or any gender). Since 2007, Act-Out! has been providing Bay Ridge & the Greater Brooklyn Area with world-class acting instruction at very affordable prices. We have served students of all ages and levels of experience, from beginners to Broadway veterans. Led by NYS-Certified drama teacher and Award-winning actor John Stillwaggon (see below for brief biography), students learn physical and vocal preparation, improvisation, line memorization, stagecraft, action/obstacle work, as well as character and scene analysis. Students and parents have reported vast improvements not only in acting ability, but in such life skills as conflict resolution, goal-setting, teamwork, discipline, memory, and self-esteem. At the close of the two-week camp (students meet for four hours each weekday), the student ensemble performs a full-length, original theatrical production. Students experience vast growth as artists and as human beings, and lifelong friendships are made. This year, join Tom, Huck, & Jim in their journey down the river, as they engage in their unique brand of shenanigans, and learn the meaning of Friendship, Freedom, Fairness, and Growing Up (although, if you ask Huck, that last one's a "maybe" ; ). Camp will be held at our ***NEW LOCATION!*** Our Saviour Church 414 80th Street Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, NY 11209 CAMP DATES: Monday, August 15 throught Friday, August 26 (10am-2pm, Monday-Friday) "TOM & HUCK" Performance Dates: Friday, August 26 at 7pm Saturday, August 27 at 5pm Cost: $400 per student (ask about our Family Discount when enrolling more than one student from the same family) For registration information, please contact Artistic Director John Stillwaggon via Facebook; or via e-mail at [email protected] Come join us on this one-of-a-kind adventure!
