New Dawn Offering Two Summer Drama Camps

Budding actors can learn acting and auditioning techniques and more at New Dawn Theater this summer. The Duluth theater company will be conducting two one-week Drama Camps July 11-15 and July 18-22.

Drama Camp hours are 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday through Friday. Each camp will culminate in a recital on Friday night for family and friends.

The drama campers will learn basic acting and auditioning techniques, character preparation, costumes, makeup application, stage crew and props, set design and construction and much more, according to Sherry Ingbritsen, New Dawn Theater Company's president and artistic director. They will also audition for a short play and will perform that play at their recital.

The drama camp is open to ages 6 to 16 with all levels of experience and non-experience. Participants will all receive a complimentary 5x7 black and white headshot. If they choose to do so, campers may purchase a CD with all their shots on it for only $25.

Call the theater at 678-887-5015 or visit the website at www.newdawntheatercompany.com for more information. Deadline for registration is July 1 for Camp No. 1 and July 8 for Camp No. 2. The cost for the drama camp is $200 a week. Each camper should bring a bag lunch.

There will be a parent meeting the week before each camp to go over camp requirements. New Dawn Theater is located at 3087 Main St.
