Summer Theater Camp 2024: Where Creativity Takes Center Stage In Aventura

July 19, 2024

As the summer sun shines bright over South Florida, young aspiring performers are gearing up for an unforgettable experience at the Summer Theater Camp 2024, hosted by the Broward Center for the Performing Arts and The Performance Project School of the Arts. This annual camp promises not only a chance to hone their skills in singing, dancing, and acting but also an opportunity to create lasting memories on stage.

Located across multiple venues including the Broward Center in Fort Lauderdale, the Aventura Arts & Cultural Center in Aventura, and the Rose & Alfred Miniaci Performing Arts Center at Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Summer Theater Camp 2024 offers two exciting sessions. The camp's curriculum is designed to immerse campers in the world of theater, under the guidance of seasoned professionals from the performing arts industry.

"This camp is more than just about teaching theater skills," says Nina Felice, the Founder of The Performance Project School of the Arts and a former professional actress. "It's about nurturing creativity, building confidence, and fostering a love for the arts that can last a lifetime."

One of the highlights of the camp is the opportunity for campers to prepare and perform in a full-scale theatrical production. Each session culminates in a grand finale where campers showcase their talents on stage. This year, audiences can look forward to productions like Aladdin Kids, Legally Blonde The Musical, Jr., 101 Dalmatians Kids, and Newsies Jr., promising a diverse range of experiences that cater to different age groups and interests.

"From the magical adventures of Aladdin to the empowering journey of Legally Blonde, these productions are chosen not just for their entertainment value, but also for the valuable lessons they impart," explains Felice. "Theater has a unique ability to teach empathy, teamwork, and resilience – qualities that are invaluable both on and off stage."

Beyond the Footlights

Summer Theater Camp 2024 is not just about rehearsals and performances. It's a holistic experience that includes workshops, masterclasses, and special events designed to broaden campers' understanding of the performing arts. Participants have the chance to work closely with industry professionals who share their insights and expertise, providing a glimpse into the realities of a career in theater.

"We believe in offering a comprehensive experience that goes beyond the technical aspects of performance," says Felice. "Campers learn about stagecraft, costume design, and even the business side of theater – skills that are essential for anyone considering a future in this industry."

For many campers, Summer Theater Camp is a place where friendships are forged and passions are ignited. It's a supportive environment where young artists from diverse backgrounds come together to collaborate and create something truly magical.

"The friendships I've made at camp are just as important as the skills I've learned," says Emily, a camper who has been attending the Broward Center's Summer Theater Camp for the past three years. "We support each other both on stage and off, and that camaraderie makes every performance even more special."

Registration for Summer Theater Camp 2024 is currently open, with early bird discounts available until March 15th. Interested families can register online, by phone, or via email, making it easier than ever to secure a spot for their budding performer.

"With limited space available, we encourage families to enroll early to avoid disappointment," advises Felice. "Whether your child dreams of belting out show tunes or commanding the stage as a leading actor, there's a place for them at Summer Theater Camp 2024."
