Theater Camp

Every Year the Sierra Vista Community Theater hosts a youth summer camp for youth under the age of 18. This summer camp is 6 days long, with a series of lessons and workshops, followed by a showcase on Saturday.

This camp takes place towards the end of June, and students get to learn a variety of things, such as fight choreography, auditioning, character analysis, tech, costumes, and so much more. If you have a kid who wants to learn about theater, but isn't ready to jump on stage yet, or just wants to learn more, this camp would be great for them.
