Camp on the Coast is a workshop for high school students interested in studying acting, voice, and movement. The interaction of the two camps will inspire the participants of the Young Author’s camp to write their own theatrical skits. The students will begin by visiting acting classes and theatre rehearsals before writing their skits. The elementary students will then be visited by playwright Sheri Phillabaum to explain how to write dialogue.
