Register for Summer Spotlight Theatre Camp at James Clemens High School

A Unique Opportunity for Aspiring Actors and Technicians

Registration for the highly anticipated 2024 Summer Spotlight Theatre Camp at James Clemens High School in Madison is officially open to all rising second through ninth graders in the 2024-2025 school year from any school. This exciting opportunity offers the chance for students with a passion for the theatre to learn and grow in an immersive, hands-on environment.

Discovering the Magic on Both Sides of the Stage

Fondly referred to as “Four Day Broadway”, this unique theatre camp provides students with an opportunity to not only perform but also to work behind the scenes. “We are offering three different ways for involvement – Acting, Musical Theatre, and our exclusive program, Technical Theatre, which isn’t found in any of the elementary or middle schools,” said James Clemens drama teacher Amy Patel.

Students choosing Technical Theatre will get the opportunity to gain practical experience in all the crucial aspects of stage production, from set construction to operating the lighting board to sewing costumes.

Camp Details: Inclusion, Interaction, and a Grand Showcase

The camp will take place from May 28 to May 31, operating daily from 9 a.m. to noon. At the end of the camp, campers will have the opportunity to showcase what they have learned to family and friends in the Spotlight Showcase held at noon on May 31. To celebrate their achievements, a pizza party will follow the performance.

In the lead up to the Showcase, the campers will get to interact with experienced James Clemens drama students who have performed in acclaimed theatre productions such as “Urinetown”, “Metamorphoses”, and “Cyrano de Bergerac”.

Also, participants will get a first-hand understanding of what studying at James Clemens High School may feel like, and make connections that could potentially shape their future educational journey—and life.

Select Your Area of Interest: Acting, Musical Theatre, or Technical Theatre

Campers have the choice to select their preferred area of interest at the camp:

• Acting: Small groups of students will rehearse and perform a short scene.
• Musical Theatre: Groups of 15 or more students will practice singing and dancing to perform a song from a Broadway musical.
• Technical Theatre: Students will design, build, and run the technical elements of the show, including set construction, lighting, and sound. This also includes props creation, sewing costumes, and makeup design for the stage.
