The Laboratory Theater of Florida is a professional teaching theater company and only uses credentialed educators and professional actors in its education department.
SHOW INFO:
Doreen Green, aka Squirrel Girl, wants what any typical college student wants – to make friends, have cool professors, and go to parties. But when it comes time to save the day from an evil villain, can she do it while protecting her secret identity?
“…it has a great message…. Like girls RULE, education is cool, and honesty really is the BEST policy.” - NPR
CAMP INFO
As a professional teaching theater, The Laboratory Theater of Florida takes a "whole actor" approach to acting. In addition to physical movement, stage combat, voice modulation, blocking, stagecraft, and scene study, students also learn the basics of set design, lighting elements, lighting design, costuming, stage makeup, stage management, and theater etiquette and best practices. And, of course, theater games. Acting is FUN!
The camp culminates in a professional production of the Marvel Spotlight Squirrel Girls Goes to College by Karen Zacarias, which runs for four performances July 11 - 14. Speaking parts are available for all ages, abilities, genders, and ethnicities within the camp range. In addition to speaking roles, technical and backstage opportunities are available for those students who prefer to learn backstage skills and protocols.
This camp is limited to 16 students, ages 11-17, which guarantees an abundance of one-on-one instruction and allows us to keep the students as safe as possible. The theater will consider actors outside this age range on a case-by-case basis and readiness assessment.

Please complete a registration form for each camper. Students will not be allowed to stay without signed registration and hold harmless release forms. If registering multiple students, please choose "First Camper" for the first and "Sibling" for the others.
