Registration Ends June 15th
Wake up in the heart of the entertainment industry right here in Cincinnati! Young actors (and parents) are invited to examine and learn the Hollywood film and television industry first hand by top A-List industry coaches, casting directors, agents, working actors and industry parents. Whether you are coming to us from the heartland of the USA or the other side of the world, it will be a camp experience you will remember forever!
Our camp will educate those preparing to enter the entertainment business, introduce and broaden the art of acting for the camera through challenging well rounded acting classes, dancing classes and singing classes with some of the best instructors in Hollywood. Most importantly, while learning, we offer the most FUN and dynamic day camp experience with the most fun and dynamic industry pro’s! Ages 8 to 21 may apply.
The level of experience does not matter when you arrive. You will leave with a wide-ranging level of understanding of career choices in the industry, how it all works and the willingness to go after success in dance, voice, film & television. Classes will be separated into age groups.
Besides the acting training we will be introducing Glee Inspired Singing & Dancing classes where participants will learn a Glee Inspired number that will be the opening act for the Showcase. 5 Singers and Dancers will be chosen and showcased for the Industry Panel.
Panelists will receive packet on each performer in the showcase. Packets will be prepared by actors and coach during the week of training. Packets provided by the acting camp. Panelists will fill out individual assessment sheets on each performer based on showcase performance and they will be mailed to participants. Showcase panelists interested in further discussions with a specific performer will fill out request forms that will be given to the participants directly.
