District 196 Community Education

Join us for a week-long performance intensive working with selections from the musical, Shrek Jr! Work together to stage a few scenes, songs, and dances from the hilarious show. Our week-long intensive class will culminate in a performance of our selections on the Apple Valley High School Theater Stage. Work with Theater Professionals, including some of our awesome AVHS Theater Staff! **This restructured camp will be shorter (1 week long), lower in price, and a bit more manageable for a small group of performers. Though we won't put together the entire show, we WOULD work with sound, lighting, props, and minimal costume elements to bring a few of our favorite Shrek, Jr numbers and scenes to life.

Create and perform an original play based on our weekly theme! Work collaboratively with other students to develop the story, setting, characters, dialogue and staging. Throughout the creative process, participate in games and activities to hone your theatre skills. Perform our original play for friends and family on the last day!
