You will perform your play on the SteppingStone Theatre Education Stage for family and friends on the last day of camp.

In our afternoon sessions, SteppingStone Theatre becomes a place to fire up your imagination and try new things.

We have a great line-up of afternoon classes! Actors need all kinds of skills and abilities. Here you can study dance and voice, make puppets or a toy theatre, discover a magician's secrets, and even learn some Rad Moves!

What you will learn:

• Teamwork and cooperation

• Basic acting and performing skills
• The joy of watching your creativity come to life
