It’s “The Summer of Wonka” at Berkeley Playhouse and that can only mean gobs of musical theatre delights! Berkeley Playhouse offers 1-4 week half and full day music theatre camps choc-filled with singing, acting, dancing, choreography and vocal performance techniques as well as fun, summer-camp crafts and activities for children Pre-K through Grades 6. Summer 2012 is inspired by Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory playing on our mainstage, July 14-August 19!
The Walt Disney Family Museum Discovery Summer Camp ~ San Francisco
Learn animation, acting, directing and illustrating this summer! The Walt Disney Family Museum Discovery Summer Camp offers six hands-on summer sessions sure to fire-up kids’ and teens’ dreams and expand their imaginations. Limited to fewer than 20 participants per session – to ensure plenty of personal instruction – campers work with industry professionals to explore acting onstage as a Jamboree Player, learn the secrets behind Special Effects, create an animated short, unwrap the magic of illusions, explore the outdoors with a video camera, or create a comic book hero.
