A cast of kids and local Duluth artists will tell the Shakespeare favorite for summer audiences in a one-of-a-kind theatrical experience: in the woods. The first week will be spent on the Zeitgeist Teatro stage learning about the fundamentals of theater. Week 1 ends by casting the show through an audition process where every student in the camp will win a role in the show!
The second week we’ll be in full rehearsal mode and move to Hartley where we’ll spend the week rehearsing for our own production and three-day, weekend run of The Tempest. Students will learn audition techniques, intro to backstage and the booth, acting for beginners, Shakespeare workshops, intro to playwriting, building confidence and building characters, rehearsal process, and PERFORMANCE! Plus, a guaranteed role in our production of The Tempest: at Hartley Nature Center.
