WELCOME - 2025 Summer Theatre Mini Camp

 SUMMER THEATRE MINI CAMP 2025

Hello Everybody!

It is almost time for Summer Theatre Mini Camp. We are looking forward to seeing you all in the next few weeks!!

Below is some important information regarding camp.

• Every person involved in this camp is expected to RESPECT ALL involved in this process. We expect students to be respectful, engaged, kind, supportive, and honest in all activities. If there is an issue, please share your concerns with Ms Manuel.  

• Our main means of communication will be the OLSH Theatre Blog. This is the first place to go for schedules, questions regarding rehearsal, what to bring with you, what to wear, etc, etc, etc. We will also keep an abbreviated version of this schedule on the OLSH Theatre Facebook Page. Please 'like" the page to keep up to date and also see posts and photos from rehearsals.

• Session One begins Monday, June 16th. Rehearsals will be from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm. Please do NOT drop off your child(ren) before 8:45, as we will be preparing for camp prior to that time. Please make sure to pick up promptly, as we have another camp coming in after Mini Camp.

• Session Two begins Monday, June 23rd. Rehearsals will be from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm. Please do NOT drop off your child(ren) before 8:45 am, as we will be preparing for camp prior to that time. Please make sure to pick up promptly, as we have another camp coming in after Mini Camp.

• Both camps will end on Friday of their respective weeks. We invite you to attend a showcase style performance on Friday beginning at 11:00 am. More information will come out during the week of camp.

• If you have any friends interested in attending camp, please let me know ASAP. We need to order camp tee shirts now, so don't delay! Students may attend BOTH weeks of camp, or only one.

• Please send a water bottle, small snack, 3 ring binder, pencil, and highlighter to every rehearsal. 

• We offer a "Snack Cart" to students that are interested. Juice boxes, water, goldfish, pretzels, crackers, etc (concession items) will be available for $1.00 - $2.00 per item. Our High School Theatre students are running the cart this year to fundraise for a trip to perform in Scotland in 2026! You are under no obligation to purchase anything, but if you want your child to be able to buy a snack, please send them with small bills.

• Please wear comfortable and school appropriate clothing that you can move in. The auditorium gets warm, so shorts and tee shirts are great. If you want to wear a modest tank top, that is fine. If you have dance shoes (jazz or ballet) please bring them. If not, tennis shoes will work. NO flip flops, slides, or sandals on stage.

This year, we are inviting our campers to perform ONE of the songs they learn in our Pelican Players Summer Community Theatre show "A Year with Frog and Toad". More information will be coming soon, but save the performance dates of July 11th and 12th. This is NOT required, but we hope you can participate! Friends and families are also welcome to audition. You will see more information on the OLSH Theatre Blog.

Make sure to ask your child what they learned each day. They will need to practice and memorize some materials at home, so please let them entertain you!

I think that is everything for now. We are looking forward to working with your child(ren)! 

Best Regards,

Ms Manuel and The OLSH Theatre Production Team
