What does the camp experience include? 

PVTC prides itself in offering a fully-realized production experience for all students. We care deeply about the development of each child and dedicate significant energy to building strong relationships between students and their peers, interns, and staff. 

 

From the teaching artists who work with students to the producers who connect the dots between artistic departments to the student services team who communicates with families, there is a dedicated team at work aiming to give students a memorable growth experience. 

 

Every student receives specialized instruction that engages them in: 

• Performance (acting, singing, dance, physical acting, and stage combat)

• Design elements (costumes, hair, makeup, props, backdrops, and visual art)

• Generative theatre making (playwriting, devising original theatre, improvisation, and character development)

• Special student activities (collaborative group creations, co-curricular projects, community building, creation of virtual or physical archival materials, and ensemble games)

• Discovery of wide-lens theatre concepts (history, dramaturgy, collaboration, ensemble) 

• Exploration of the world of IDEA (inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility) through hands-on workshops

​

Do you offer scholarships?

I am a high school student. Can I be in the show and intern?

The choice to act or intern is entirely up to each high school student, but it’s an either/or situation. In either case, students will be able to serve as role models to younger students while also making meaningful connections with peers who are both acting and interning. The choice really depends on whether the preference is to focus on developing as a performer onstage or on the behind-the-scenes work of the production.
