Twelfth Night Shakespeare Acting & Production Camp (2 weeks)

Shakespeare Production Acting Camp
This two-week Shakespeare Production Acting Camp offers students the opportunity to deeply explore Shakespeare’s language, characters, and storytelling while rehearsing and performing a fully staged adaptation of Twelfth Night!
12th Night is a fast-paced comedy full of love triangles, mistaken identities, and practical jokes. Shipwrecked on the luxurious vacation island of Ilyria, Viola and her twin brother Sebastian each think the other is drowned. Viola then disguises herself to work for the lovesick Duke Orsino, who is in love with the Lady Olivia -- who wants nothing to do with him! Throw in some wild parties, yellow stockings, a whiff of love island, and set to a soundtrack of pop love songs, come celebrate the holidays in June with us!
New this year, the extended format allows for more in-depth text analysis, character work, and rehearsal time, supporting both newer actors and students with advanced training. The camp culminates in a public performance weekend that mirrors a professional rehearsal and production process.
