Choose from two exciting camps, or attend them both for a discounted price!

Each two-week camp includes drama, team competitions, game times and more!!

At Overshadowed’s Jr Theater Camp, you will focus on the three musical theater disciplines:

• Acting
• Dance
• Voice

Students will learn audition techniques for all three areas and learn key principles of each to create a well-balanced musical theater actor.

This one-week camp finishes with a performance where the skills learned during the week are put into practice!

At Overshadowed's camp for our youngest thespians, the focus is less on a specific production and more on theater skills such as: 

• Singing
• Choreography

In order to keep these young campers engaged, games and drama activities will be used to reinforce learning. 

This 3 day camp conclues with a showcase for friends and family to see the newly acquired skills!

Harold Hill, the fast-talking traveling salesman, arrives in River City, Iowa, to see if he can persuade the uptight town to start a marching band. He convinces locals that the new pool table is nothing but trouble, and the only way to save their children is by purchasing uniforms and instruments so they can join his band. The catch? He doesn't know a trombone from a treble clef, and plans to flee with the cash. His scheme is threatened when the beautiful Marian, the town’s piano teacher, sees through his lies to the man he is inside and forces him to face a difficult decision about skipping town.

All of the wit and romance of Jane Austen's classic 1813 novel come to life in this refreshingly fast-paced and engaging new adaptation. Finding a husband is hardly Elizabeth Bennet's most urgent priority. But with four sisters, an overzealous match-making mother, and a string of unsuitable suitors, it's difficult to escape the subject. When the independent-minded Elizabeth meets the handsome but enigmatic Mr. Darcy, she is determined not to let her feelings triumph over her own good sense -- but the truth turns out to be slipperier than it seems. In a society where subtle snubs and deceit proliferate, is it possible for Elizabeth and Darcy to look beyond his pride and her prejudice, and to make the best match of all?
